The vendor said that it was indeed some kind of fungus. He said that he would take my old Vanda back so I could choose another, healthy one. I did just that and I'm a happy owner of a new Vanda. The bottom leaves are a little droopy, I was told to bath it when I get home. I was said about the old one, but it was dying. I was lucky to have had such a friendly and accomodating vendor. I attached some pictures of the new Vanda after it's first bath, it is similiar in appearance to the old one.

Wow what good news that you were able to get a new plant! I would make sure you clean everything and anything the old vanda was near really well. Fungi has a crazy ability to make tons of spores that move so easily with the slightest air movement.

I also spray my shower really well with lysol let it sit for the time it says to kill 99% of germs before I put my plants in there to shower them etc. I'm so happy you can now fully enjoy your plant without feeling like you were already setup for failure with a sick plant! I look forward to seeing updates once it gets bigger!
