Thanks to all for the replies and suggestions. I was in a huge panic when I posted this as I was heading out of town for another week (thus the reason for no earlier replies), and didn't know what to expect when I came home.
Before I left, I got the heat under control, and did a couple water changes. What I came back to was very similar to what Christy and Hairytank said. The remaining SPS had partially Rtn'ed (some survived just fine - like the birdsnest, but thanks for the offer Ron), but no more died after the temps were stabilized. Unfortunately I now have a hair algae problem to deal with!
Some of the partially RTN'ed colonies will have to be fragged up, but generally I'm quiet relieved with what I came home to.
So now another question. The main tank survived relatively untouched, but there are a few pieces that are bleached out (like white). There is no algae growing on them yet, so I believe they survived. How long does it normally take for a SPS to color back up? Is it weeks or months? one and a half weeks now, and they are still white.
