I recently got my first shipment of corals for my 10 gallon nano tank. I ordered 12 corals, and all of them are very healthy except for my torch coral, it has some sort of white mucus that it is covered with. Anyone know what this is or how to fix it?
Tank parameters:
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite:0ppm
Nitrate: 10ppm
Ph: 8.1
Salinity: 1.026
These pictures are the 2nd and 3rd days of owning the coral.
Tank temp: 77 degrees

Brown jelly disease. Dip it in coral rx immediately. If there are no polyps left, it's a goner. 2nd pic looks dead.
BJD is a very fast killer.
 
Can it spread to other corals?

Yes, other similar softies like torch, frogspawn, Duncan, etc. That's why it's important to dip it immediately to remove and prevent the BJD from spreading.
I lost a huge colony overnight.
 
Just dipped the coral and everything is fell apart. But luckily, none of my another corals seem to have it

Its dead. Next time try dipping the coral in an iodine bath when u notice brown jelly disease on a coral.
