I wonder if those little strawberry anenomes would live in a SW tank at 78-80 degrees

Nope... intertidal animals are able to withstand short periods (up to an hour or two depending on the animal) of warm or even no water, but they'll decline and die if they don't spend most of their time in temperate waters.
