Just an observation to offer...
I have had in a few instances experience deaths that begin occurring when my temp hits 81 degrees Fahrenheit, so 27 Celsius is pushing the limit.
My temp range goes from anywhere between 74-80 degrees and have been pretty successful maintaining breeding bandensis and a full blown reef.
In regards to higher temps = shorter life span, I haven't really noticed a shorter life span from keeping them in the higher 70s vs the lower 70s. The only thing Ive seen affect life span is finding better foods. Switching from shore crabs to grass shrimps as the adult diet seemed to increase lifespan and size.
