What is the point where ammonia is really dangerous for inverts?

I lost an anemone and it caused a mini cycle.

My ammonia was at .25ppm. I removed the body and did a 25% water change.

Ammonia is about .15ppm now. (maybe a smidge higher)

Will my inverts be able to endure this mini cycle or do I need to do daily
water changes?

TIA

Mort, it should be fine. I'd add the correct amount of Seachem's "Prime" to
match the amount of gallons you have, to lock up the ammonia.

Your Ammonia should not be registering. Do some water changes. And yes, your
tank will do some cycling.....
