Will Zoa's survive?

My little nano-tank has a bad temp problem. It stays at about 85 consistantly day and night no matter what the ambient room temperature is. The snails, crabs, and Peppermint Shrimp in there have been fine (well living at least) with the temperature and don't seem to mind it. Do you think I can start tranfering some zoanthids in there? Will they adapt to survive, or are they doomed?

85 is not leaving any room for error...I think that is too high. Why is it so high? Do you have lids or an open top? What kind of lighting? Do you have a fan blowing anywhere? I came home to a tank that was 87 a week or two ago and my fish were not happy. The corals seemed fine though. Since then I added a large fan that I leave on during the day and my tank hasn't gotten above 80 since. I'd lower the temp a little more to be safe!

I would get a fan to blow across the water surface asap. It will promote evaporation so you'll need to watch your top off. It should bring down the temp at least a couple of degrees.
