Woke up this morning to my Holy grail torch covered in brown jelly. Performed dips in lugols and furian2 and knocked off all visible jelly and placed in quarantine. All other torches and LPS are doing fine so far. Pretty sure it’s a goner but Looking at the picture do you think I can save it. I cannot tell if it still has a mouth or not.

I think its a goner sorry :( same thing happened to my torch. Have you done anything new recently
 
Just got it on tuesday. Did the standard coralRX dip and been waiting. Looked rough when I got it but most torches I’ve had do when first shipped or moved around. Don’t purchase off eBay lol he cut the skeleton very close to the head and had a small hole.
 
Thats most likely the reason it started to die (the poor cutting job) same thing happened to me except I just re-aquascaped the tank which most likely let a lot of things to spike.
 
I had tried putting epoxy over the cut but to little to late probably.

I don't have experience with gluing up cuts like that but the coral probably won't stand a chance in the state it's in now. Sorry
