Yikes...
Do water changes, absolutely. Also run carbon. Take SEVERAL hours to bring temp down... don't do it suddenly.

I agree, bring the temp down gradually or you will shock the fish and kill them. Good luck, so sorry to hear this happened.

my skimmer is just producing a lot of bubbles, you think maybe because of the cloudy water made it dirty... should i clean it..

Is the temp still coming down and is your water change ready? Try and get the fish in the QT if you can. I don't think at this point I'd worry a whole lot about the wc sitting for 24hrs.

i found my angel, but still missing my jawfish and cleaner shrimp.......... the contators went bad on my unit... i was not worried about my a/c that took no time to fix. i fix a/c units for a living.
thanks everyone for your help..
i think i have come to a conclusion... iam give up on my reef and making a fish w/ LR tank...
my frogspawn lived along with some zoos and shrooms.......
