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.

Just drop it back down to temp slowly and cross your fingers.
