My rio 2100 pump caught fire in my tank leaving the water a smelly sooty mess. Most of
my fish are dead except a humma trigger two clowns and a damsil . I have changed
the water (50%) and continue to change it. What about my live rock? Will it be
okay? Has this ever happened to any one? Any ihfo woul d be appreciated

You mean your corals ? According to observation made by fishermen, I
would say that corals better resist electric discharges than standard
fishes. SO if your clown fish is alive, your coral should be alive.
