I'm out of town, tank hit 91 degrees over the past 24 hours, its at 87 degrees now I've never dealt with this before should my zoos, hammer, banded shrimp, jaw fish survive this. I'm on my phone so I can't do much research right now.

I went through this with the gf's tank. All sps died and most lps. Most inverts lived also, peppermints, cleaner shrimp, snails and coco worm, but feather dusters died. Didn't have any fish in there at the time so I can't comment on how those will recover.

try to slowly bring it down. a rapid swing in temp. is more stressful than the temp. itself..

My sister is at the house. It has something to do w/ the temp controller I think, I swithed heaters when I did a wc last night b4 I left. She put the orig heater in and put 1 gallon of un heated water from my nano. This is hapening w/ my 20 btw

Much appreciated Russ, but my sister is over at the house. It's 83 now, the banded shrimp shed. I'm guessing the heat induced it, since he lshed a month ago. Corals are sucked up. Not worried to much about the bluespot jaw, (i know not this high) but they're used to higher temps, so google says.

Hopefully things willl be back to normal by tomarrow, trying to be optimistic.
