Actually, the corals responded quite favorably to the waterchange I did.. I may do another tonight...10%..
Water changes and running fine filter floss and discarding it every day will help a lot. Maybe even stuff a GFO reactor with a load of filter wool and run it with a decent flow on the pump...as the filter wool begins to clog it will capture smaller and smaller particles.

I would carry out 10-15% water changes every 3 days for at least 8 days...with thoroughly mixed saltwater. It might not be practical for your tank size, but water changes are my number 1 treatment for most coral issues or events like this.
