I bought a torch coral about a week ago, dipped it with reef dip, and put it right away in my tank. Everything was going fine until this morning. It seems to shrink, and there is somekind of white jelly on one of the heads. Could it be a brown jelly disease? Should i remove it from the tank? Or dipping them again would stop it? Thanks

How is everything else in the tank? Lets see. It has been a while since I have done it, but I believe I used eurythromycin in a 4 hour dip with some lps with brown jelly and they survived. Make sure to match water, add some air, heater if necessary to keep water same over 4 hours. Then rinse in clean salt water and put back into tank. I had another tank to put my sick corals in to avoid re-infection, but you may just have to do this a couple times.

Does not look too bad, but picture is tough to tell. You can also use a lugol's solution dip to try for a quick 15 minutes, rinse and add back.

Everything else in the tank are doing fine. The other fishes and corals doesn't seem to have any problem at all. I dipped them with a double dose of seachem's reef dip and lots of white jelly stuffs came out. Had to pull them of with syringe until none are visible. Rinsed them again and returned it to the tank. I'll try to observe them again tomorrow. Thanks for the advice.
