ever spray that plant with water while the lights are on? how much of this deformation is present in your garden?

No I have never sprayed the plants with anything at all. The deformation is present on 2 of 4 plants and always occurs on the smaller leaves of the 7 pointed fan leaves.

Is it possibly related to having a fan too close to them?

that was my next question. do your plants ever sweat? ever see any moisture on the leaves?

I guess it could be that the leaf "ripped" a bit from the fan when it was small and it just grew through the pain to the point it is now. The other option would be a caterpillar and if you can't find one of those then I think it must be the fan.

Not a big issue really. They aren't browning around the edge where the damage is, looks healthy enough.

catapillers don't just eat the corners, they bite right into any part they can. I will agree, It does look like a pillar bite though.
