Kinda doing the same thing with mine only with Leca and it’s normal for some leafs to die off cause the plant is stressed from being moved into something new it’s not use to, I would give it a week or so and see how it’s acting they are very dramatic plants lol. I would cut that leaf off once it fully turns brown or purple :)

Thank you!

To add to the above, it is not only due to stress but the plant losing a lot of its root system as well.  
Soil and semi hydro roots are different, which does require a rebuilding for the plant to be able to intake the nutrients and water.
