    Ambient and Hs temps are 100% different game. Keep an eye on them and allow temps to return to normal. Naturally don't try to shock them down. As Jen said make sure there is enough fresh water for them and keep an eye on them for any issues. Hopefully they will be ok. they can manage higher than optimal temps for short periods so they my be ok. Did the hot spot shut down (tstat that is)?
