Lost my coral beauty today

Looks like my heater stuck on still reading reading 77.4 but when I started verifying water parameters temp was at 87.9 Lots of Ice and small water changes trying to drop the temp over time. I have worked back slowly to 82 on top and 81 on bottom with no additional loss. I am going to see if I can get back to about 78 before I stop the ice and water. I will be looking for a controller now....lol should i try to feed to bring stress down?

I wouldn't try to feed. Just continue to bring your temp down slowly and hopefully everything else will be fine...reef keeper needs to be in your future

What do you mean stuck? Did the heater malfunction?

Yes I think it was a bad probe or controller. It was set to come on at 74 and go off at 79. I stayed right at 77.8 and when I checked the temp was 87.9 and the controller read 77.4 and continued to read that even after I cooled it down. Coral is still very unhappy just hope it is not toast. Zoas in the bottom of the tank appear ok but others not so much.
