Just want initial thoughts on this. Does it look like Brown Jelly? I will provide parameters soon after I do my round of tests.

I came home from work and one of my torches half closed up. I siphoned this off of the flesh and it looks like brown jelly to me.

Just did a 5 gallon water change as well and I will probably retest in the morning. The tank is a Fluval 13.5.

The coral is continuing to degrade after multiple Lugol's dips. It seems like the degradation is going slower than what I have seen with BJD. Curious if I should take it out of the tank.

Any advice would be appreciated. Pics attached but if you need anymore information to provide input let me know.

I recently had a hammer do the same. About 4 days from when I noticed something was off until it was nothing but skeleton. How does it smell?

No foul or odd smell from what I can tell. The timeline however that you referenced seems about right.
