Had my mini split unit go out while at work today and had the tank temp go from 77 to 82 everything looks okay little less extension on my nem and torches wondered if that was enough to kill them probably been like that for 4hrs

A lot of corals are totally fine at 82. The key is if the temperature shifts rapidly it can kill the corals. Try to keep the temperature as stable as possible and they probably didn’t like the shift but just slowly bring the temp back to 77-78 maybe a degree a day or two a day.
 
Agreed, slow progression back. I don’t think 82 is an issue.
