Help ID problem

[DanzReef]

I purchased this torch a few days ago from my LFS and dipped it before putting it in as I do with most my corals and just started to notice what you see in the pictures as well as seeing tiny pieces of it floating away. Can someone help me save this coral!

Looks like that head is melting maybe didnt like the dip. Nice thing about those is the other heads look good so u should be ok just keep eye on the healthy looking ones . I wouldnt worry to much ive had this happen and in no time more heads grew couldnt even tell i lost one

I've had this happen before. If you look really closely, did it appear like there was a brown jelly like substance around the affected part? Try googling "brown jelly infection" and maybe add the word "coral" to that search. No telling what would come up in a google search these days lol.

If that's not it, just keep a close eye on it and if it spreads to another head, I'd cut off the affected part.

At first glance I thought it would be "brown jelly" but the secretion you see in the first pics are all white/clear and only that head had it. To note I use ReVive Coral cleaner by TLF to dip and had dipped many corals before without this happening...
