The solution become hypotonic due to the decrease in salinity. The cell's membrane is selective towards the solutes found in the environment. When placed in hypotonic solution, water diffuses through the membrane and causes the cell to burst.

An anthozoan. Anthozoa is a class of marine invertebrates.
Water parameters: pH between 8.1- 8.3
salinity between 1.024-1.026

# data[].attributes.body
Due to the heavy rainfall, it caused the salinity of the water to decrease. The marine creatures need a saline environment to survive and thrive. This led the animals who are more sensitive to the salinity depletion to take in water until they burst and died.
