Hello All, I've got sad news and looking for help and advice to nurse/heal corals exposed to heat.
Tank was 91 degrees Fahrenheit last night due to being out of town, another family member turned all A/C to the house off. Maybe two days exposure to the heat.
Definitely lost a blueberry acropora closest to water surface, two montipora as well. Other SPS corals are noticeably faded/bleached, soft corals and LPS closed up.
What is the best path forward to help nurse the corals back to their best?
Any and all advice appreciated. Thanks in advance!

- Turned lighting off
- Performed a water change, dropped to 84
- Set up portable A/C pointed at the tank, down to 81 within a couple hours.
- Tank is now at 77 and house back to 72 this morning.
