So I went on vacation for 4 days and I left the AC on at my apartment. I went to my car ready to go, and my fiance went back inside to grab something. Not thinking, she turned it off and we had a heat wave. When I got home, I checked on the aquarium and it was sitting at 90 degrees... the fish lived, but my coral is mostly shriveled up a bit. I notice some still "bloom" a little, but not nearly as much as they have. Is there something I can do to help them or is it something I need to wait out? Nothing looks completely dead. But I'm afraid that if I don't do something, they will die. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry to hear about this.
I would start by bringing the temps back down 1-2 degrees a day until you get back to your normal temp. Don't try to bring it back down all in one day as you might run into issues.
