I keep my eggs in 2 small clear plastic containers with lids. I use coarse vermiculite. It is 1:1 water ratio with a layer of dry vermiculite on which the eggs lay on top of. The eggs do not touch the wet stuff. The humidity is 80-90% and the proportional thermostat keeps it at 88-89 degrees.
I opened the boxes up today for inspection. It has been 12 days since they were dropped. One of the eggs is discolored and has a raised dark green patch on it the size of a nickel. It still has a great vascular network upon candling. I separated this egg from the rest into it's own container.

Am I doing anything wrong?
What could have caused this?
Is it wise to expect some more loss?

Thanks
