breaking hibiscus seed after germination?

Folks, I have a problem whose answer I'm having trouble googling. My hibiscus seedlings come up almost a week ago with the hard little seed still covering their heads. Should I take some tweezers and try to break off the seed or will that kill the hibiscus? I had a few come up a few weeks ago that had the same problem and they eventually died. Not sure if they ever got strong enough to break through the seed.

I didn't scarify the seeds before planting. Advice?

Thanks!
