You are probably dealing with Brown Jelly Disease. How is the flow on the torch? Lighting? Water parameters? I would try to frag the dead pieces off while you have the chance. I would cut into two healthy pieces if I were you.
 
I would say to hydrogen peroxide dip it also but I’m unsure of the mix needed to do that maybe someone that does will chime in
 
Agree frag what is still alive try to save the other pieces it’s a hard thing to combat
 
+1 on salty dogs message. A revive dip or some type of coral dip would help the infection. Maybe some pest might fall off as well. I've used iodine as a dip if you have some around. 5 minutes max, and maybe 2-3 drops in a Tupperware. You never can be too sure. Good luck!
 
Lots if great advice and +1 on dipping.

It looks like it could be getting shaded by the torch above it....perhaps placing it on the sand bed may help after the dip.
 
I would check your perimeters again and increase your salary just a little, euphyllia also like established tanks, your dead/dry rocks look pretty new, id hold off on adding more till you start getting more coralline growth.
