friends tank crashed

A friends tank crashed and most of his corals died. Will the remaining corals make it if I move them to my tank? The water temp was around 90 degrees, would this effect the live rock? Thanks
 
The LR will be fine..

Is the temperature down below 83 in your friend's tank? I'd worry about the shock of acclimating already stressed corals to a new tank. Multiple good sized water changes over the next couple of days should help lower toxins.

If there are some really prized corals, and they're heading downhill, you might try a water change first, and then try moving to your tank as a last resort. Just don't move so many to your tank that you risk your own water quality if they don't make it.
 
thanks ashlar!! my friend is moving and he just neglected his tank for awhile. I was planing on buying most of his corals and livestock, but not anymore. most everything has died already anyway. thanks for the advice.
