just noticed my tank's temp is around 75-75.5F for 2 hours, and my anemone crab stopped moving! not sure if he is dead or stunned, just wondering if it is the temp's fault..or something else caused it :x
p.s. i just added around 60 huge pods into the tank 4 hours before, i accidentally added around 10ml of the water they came from (12gal+5gal fuge) also the SG went to around 1.026-1.0265 because the fan evap. he was hugging a hammer coral this whole morning

I know every site I have seen that sells inverts and fish show a required temp of 72-78 yet most people keep their tanks 78-82. It seems to me that if anything died because you had your tank at 75 then the site or LFS (if the LFS said 72-78) would be liable and have to replace it. I keep my tanks right at 78 with no problems.

hmm ok, then something else killed my anemone crab...can hammer coral sting them? or somekind Amphipods that hunt them for food? everything else seems fine, other than the anemone crab and 1 scarlet hermit crab

I agree sounds like a molt, keep your eye out they might be back
