    are you sure that the tang may not be still picking on them at night? You wouldn't necessarily see marks if the tang is just interested in it...They also could still be acclimating. Are your parameters all good?

    Have you picked them up and checked the bottoms to make sure nothing funky is growing underneath. I lost a brain like this before.

    Also, what type of lights?
