I would do a water change and use fresh carbon.

I agree water change and carbon. You need to get a good gfi before you get shocked.
 
Why fresh carbon,Ive decided to let it ride since the water was new.so my mushrooms sponge zoas look ok my frogspawn detached but its still ok we took the anemone out overnight just put him back in looks sad but alive. thx for the input just wanted to keep you updated.
 
Wow sorry to hear! :(
 
The water change and new carbon (if more than 2 weeks old) is to get rid of any toxin the corals release during the "electrocution".
 
Gotcha will do! whats left is surviving my gf is still upset me ill get over it a bit easier,but thanks for all the help guys!!
