Thanks! I read mixed reviews regarding them being reef safe and living in 78-82 degree temp. Mine seem to be doing fine so far...

..and it is said they will do fine for a while and then they will likely die due to the temps in our tanks which are too warm for them.

I read that as well....you never know. Time will tell!
