Can my corals bounce back?

[DeSoDo]

My upstairs ac unit went out and it took 2 weeks to have a new one installed. Tank temp, even using frozen water bottles 5x a day got up to 92° in NC. My frogspawn is looking the best, followed by one of my hammer corals. 1 acan, 1 goni and 3 blasto don't look like they'll recover. Any suggestions?

If you see any flesh even a tiny speck, there's a chance it can recover. I've left skeletons in and months later had heads coming back.


Are you running fans? They will help drop a couple degrees.

I was running fans, I didn't even think about a chiller. Just rodi ice bottles and switched them out 5x a day with a small fan blowing across the top. Ran lights for only 4 hours a day to try to reduce heat. On 1 frogspawn, there's literally 1 tiny little polyp left. Like 5 on my Frammer. And others don't have any, including one of my torches. Crazy how some weren't affected in the same genus, and others were decimated. New ac unit is installed, 2 weeks today.

Hammers show recession rather than bailout and should recover. Too much flow on hammers can cause tissue to recede and bail out of skeleton also. High temps often cause bleaching. You can utilize zip lock bags.and fill with water and freeze them. Then Place them in the sump, and use a size that will fit fine and the idea is to rotate them. fill about 5 of them with water and place in freezer. Place one frozen one in sump, allow to melt and lower temp. When it melts, pull a new frozen one from freezer and place melted one back in freezer

Not running a sump, but that's what I did in the DT. Used 1 gallon rodi water that was frozen and swapped out 5x a day. The day it hit 100+ in NC is the day the tank got up to 92°.
