Also a few weeks is nothing. They can and will survive for a while, possibly even several months, however they will die a wasteful death due to the warm water, and that is a guarantee.

FWIW, we also keep this species where I work, so I am quite familiar with the species, and not just talking out of my rear.

Not sure it's a good idea to go down that slippery slope guys!

So I'm meeting buddy tonight to get one. Is this a bad idea? My saltwater tank is at 78. Will they die in my tank?

If it's a coldwater locally sourced anemone, it's a very bad idea. You need a dedicated BC-habitat tank with chiller to support any anemones or corals from local waters.

I passed. Not worth taking a chance, having it die and then my tank crashing
