Help! Puffs fed bad clams

Hi all, I am brand new to this forum and I sincerely appreciate any advice. I have 3 GSPs in 30 gallon brackish tank and another juvenile by himself in a 20 gallon.

So my daughter, trying to help me out, decided to feed all my fish this morning, and I was horrified to learn she fed my green spotted puffers clams on the half shell that I was preparing to throw out. They had been thawed since yesterday morning (so 24 hours!) …I am so upset. Please, is there anything I can do to prevent them from getting sick or dying? Medicated food? Something to feed them to help them expel the bad food fast? 331472A2-00FC-43B7-A628-56B3BC48D82B.jpeg.6b84c3e9f62aa06eece97bc546841692.jpeg

If the fish ate it, the food couldn't have been that bad. My fish will turn their nose up at rotten food.
I hope you had a stern talk with your daughter!
Have you tested the water lately? What size are the puffers?
What are your upgrading plans for these 4 puffers?
