Plumeria Seedling Has White Tips?!

Hi my Plumeria Seedling has white tips on the leaves. I read somewhere that it would be ok to help the seedling remove the husk. So "very" carefully I peeled the husk off a bit... when it wouldn't come off easily I decided to wait a couple more days then try again.. so I did this time it was a bit easier to remove so I removed it all the way but now my Plumeria leaves have white tips! :shock: I am afraid I may have removed the husk to soon and am wondering if this will kill the seedling :cry: Also After the seed husk is off am I suppose to keep it in direct sun or not? and how much should I water it?
Here are a couple pictures.

Don't worry to much BG.
These are the Cotyleden leaves ( seed leaves) of the plant and as such are there just for a short while before the first true leaves develope.
The damage may check the plant for a while but there should be enough to give the plant a start.
