I did somthing really stupid. NEED HELP

[mlm]

I am relativaly new to saltwater tanks but but i have kept freshwater african cichlids fo a long time with much breeding sucess. Anyway I am an avid Scuba Diver and this past weekend I went out to some oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico and I thought I would bring home some neat stuff to put in my tank. I brought home various things such as some sponge, sun coral, barnicles, 5 or 6 blenny's and various clams and crabs. I put all of this into a newly cycled 55 gallon tank with 20 lbs of live rock and one maroon clown. Needless to say I came home from work today with a disaster. The tank was very cloudy with "organic stuff" floating all around and a very high ammonia level. I took out all of the new "stuff" minus one piece of sun coral and the animals that could easily move around. I changed 25% of the water and added some AmQuel instant water detoxifier to control the ammonia and it seems to be working but the water is still very cloudy. Is there anything else that I can or should do?
Please help!

the cloudiness is bacteria blooms resulting from the uncycled tank. Whether fresh or saltwater hobbyst, you still need to add live creatures slowly, not all at once, especially to a smaller sized, resently "cycled" tank.
There is nothing you can do but to continue to do water changes. Corals have little tolerance for ammonia, so you should probably remove the coral. When things settle down in your tank, add one thing at a time back into the tank.
