Think these SPS have any chance to recover?

I'm in the process of recovering from a power outage. After no lights, heat or pumps for 4 days my SPS are looking pretty bad. Most of my LPS, Rics and Zoas dont look great but look like they should recover eventually. I've done a 10 gal water change and dosed some Reef Plus today after getting power back last night.
Here are my basic test results as of right now
Temp: 78
Salinity: 1.026
Alk: 9
Cal:420

What do you guys think do these have any chance to make a come back? is there anything I can do to help?
 
Only time will tell. I would not give up on them as they dont look that bad. Give it time some may stn or they may stop and recover. Keep the water quality up and dont make any major changes. Cut light back a few hours as they have not had any light for a few days and the light my shock them more. This is why if you live in an area where there are power outages you should have a battery backup, generator or even a battery powered air pump or 2 to keep the water moving and oxygenated. The acro looks the worst off, I would dip it and frag off the top and try to save the tip and the base of it.
 
sorry to hear that, glad that you have your power back and your system back to the recovery mode.... out of all the pictures that you've posted picture 3 and picture 5 seems to be the worst, take njudson advice and frag then dip them. you might also want to invest in a battery powered air pump as this would go a long way in a power outage.
 
I had a battery powered air bubbler going the whole time that I borrowed from a friend. I will just wait it out and see how it goes I guess. My building has a generator so I never really considered it possible to have no power for so long but thats what an electrical fire does I guess.
