yesterday i bought some snails, hermit crabs, and a emerald crab. At the shop i bought them at they were all in different tanks, so i had to accumulate them separately. my tank was also do for a water change and i figured i would do the water change first so the crabs and new snails wouldnt have to accumulate twice. (once in the bucket, once after i poured new water in) so i took out about 2-3 gallons (29 gallon tank) and filled it up with new water.
Then i started the accumulateing, but since i had to do three accumulations i lost another few gallons of water and mixed more (didnt let it age, but i sturred it and everything was disolved) i know adding non arrated (sorry, cant spell, might not even be the right word. lol) water is bad, but its almost 24 hours since i did all this and my pulsing xenia and sinularia and anthelia are all drooping and my star polyps are all closed. the Xenia has a slime sort of thing coming off, i remember reading about that happeneing before but cant remember much about it.
so basicaly i would like to know if there is a possability that i killed my corals. Thanks
i hope they forgive me

PS- i got my water tested before i bought the animals and i had 0 nitrites, 0 nitrates, 0 amonia, my Kh was 9, a little low but the pet store said the water change would fix that.
