Temp too high for BTA?

[jshuste]

My bta hasnt been looking that great lately. The water temp is 84.7, however i'm not sure how accurate that is. Could it be the high temp hurting it. I have some sps and a clam in there and they are doing just fine.

Mine show discomfort when it hits 84F and beyond.

It has been my experience that the actual temp is not as much of an issue as how fast the temp changes and how often it changes. I don't have a lot of experience with Anemones, but with Fish/Reef - They can cope with higher temps, but the Temp Swings are deadly.

If you tank got to 84 over an extensive period of time, I would imagine that your anemone would not tweek to hard. But if the Temp got there in a short period of time (say 12 hrs.), I would imagine it would hate it. Especially if the temp drops at night and heads back up during the next day.

IMO
