Exactly what sk84 said.

but also..

You need to have a constant temp not one that is fluctuating. Always make sure your temp is stable before adding anything. Don't put the fish in the tank and then add a heater. Put the heater in the tank then stablize the environment before adding the fish.

I'm new to this hobby but from what I have gathered from experience so far is to make sure that your Temp, Salinity and pH do not change. If they change it should be very gradual. Changing any of those parameters too fast and you will risk shocking the creatures.
