    I received a torch coral in the mail on 10/23/13. This morning when I looked at it, the one side was covered in brown slime. I took it out of my tank and rinsed off the brown slime in saltwater and gave it an iodine dip. Now I have it in a container and it is floating in my tank. Do you think the other head will make it? Do I have to remove the dead skeleton? How would I remove the dead skeleton? I have never fragged anything, so this is all new to me.

    You can leave the dead skeleton as long as you are sure you have addressed all the brown jelly issue.
    Having a dead polyp might be unsightly, but it is better than risking further injury to the coral by attempting to cut it away while it is still recovering.
