Need help with temperature change with coral

[Impala67]

Just had a very bad situation happen. My heater malfunctioned and was raised by 4 degrees!!!! How do I help them there all closed up and look very distressed. What’s a good heater it needs to be reliable.

I prefer to use a heater with a seperate thermostat and controller. For your corals I'd run GAC if you have a container/reactor you can use fo rit and a water change.

I do not have a container/reactor what heater would you recommend? Also is there anything I can do to help my corals!!!

What @Timfish is suggesting is carbon (GAC) along with a water change. You can typically place this in a media bag in your sump or sock filter (follow the instructions and rinse prior). I use Red Sea and Nyos, but there are literally dozens of brands (your LFS can probably recommend something).

In terms of heaters, the best setup is also what @Timfish suggests - that being a separate controller with temperature probe(s). The Inkbird 306A is particularly effective in this role , and then you either plug your controllable heater into the Inkbird outlet or just use a titanium heater without controller (preferred).

Slowly change the water with slightly cooler water and let the water mix in. The last thing you want to do is shock the corals again by temp. Try putting a fan or something too and do anything else that you can think that will gradually cool the aquarium. The important thing is to do it gradually not rapidly because in this state, shocking the corals again will hurt them real bad.

For the heaters, all of my aquariums (freshwater and salty) have GEX heaters. It's a Japanese pet company and it's really reliable. Even though I know the heater is reliable, I always add an extra thermostat for anything that doesn't come with on in the set. Also, a alarm thermometer might be worth the $10 investment too.

The water is back down to normal the bubble tip nem is fine and the zoas and the mushrooms are as well. But I’m having a major problem with the RFA and the Duncan coral. The Duncan will not come out of hiding he’s all closed up, and the RFA is shriveled up with no color and his mouth wide open he’s been puking up a lot of stuff as well any suggestions!!!

I think the stuff the RFA is puking is the mucus or something. Mushrooms do that quite often in my experience. But, if his guts sorta stuff is hanging out like, that's probably dead or close to it. If possible, can you post some pics of the duncan and the RFA?
Try not to do anything because changes in this situation will be dangerous. Just do a quick water change. An extra water change will never hurt

About the duncan, I don't know much but just let him be and he hopefully will come back out and survive but duncans are quite sensitive to these kinda stuff so lets just pray and hope that he's ok.
Sorry I can't help much but I hope your tank is ok! Keep us updated.
