I had to take my light fixture off this morning and turn all pumps off for 2 hours to replace a burnt out ballast. The temp went from the regular 79 degrees to 77.1 degrees when I put the lights back on. This seems to have triggered a response from my brittle stars that are usually hiding in the rocks. All of the sudden they all started coming out and I was wondering what was going on... then I saw this...

Do you think there will be a chance of them surviving. Obviously not all of them, but a small percentage of them? Is there anything I should do?
 
Wow, very nice video (and I liked the music)! As far as I know they will survive. I don't really know how else brittle stars reproduce because when they lose a leg no chunks of the body come with (I could be COMPLETELY wrong about this).
