    not to disagree, but sprouted mangroves should get acclimation or they get stressed, the leaves are dimpling in the second photo, they shouldn't do that. with acclimation, they might not have dimpled. I would keep an eye on it. They will/may start to sag soon, the first leaves shouldn't fall off this early. There also seems to be some dimpling, in the top two leaves coming out....

    yep mangroves need light to survive, the light source should give the mangroves room to grow. a foot above the sprout should be a target if possible.
