    Me to but only 1 head died that was several weeks ago and it took days, this was fast (less than 8hrs).

    How are they doing today? I had the brown jelly disease on a torch coral. It fell when I was adding some live rock and looked exactly like yours. It had about 8 heads on it, and the outer 5 all died off right away. It took about 3 or 4 days for the rest of it to die. Sorry, but it doesn't look good to me.

    I removed it and cleaned it up, there are two heads left of the 10 original. The two that are alive look OK but the others are completely gone, only the skeleton remains.
