Hello I was wondering if my Torch is showing brown jelly disease and if anyone knows a good cure?

Possibly, I just lost my torches from bjd. But this looks almost like a giant flatworm covering it. In case others can verify, I would remove and isolate. Once Identified, treat the other corals next to it as well as precautionary. But let someone verify before actual treatment.
 
It does look like it. Like said above, you definitely want to remove and isolate. Make sure to turn off your flow before removing the torch from your tank. You really don't want it to spread.

If that is a flatworm, as mentioned above... well... just get the colony out of the tank. Coming from someone who lost their entire torch colony from flatworms, hopefully that is not what is covering the head.
 
Update:

It was def BJD I woke up the next morning 3/5 of the heads were gone completely covered in Jelly.
I tanked my Phosphates ran too much GFO went from 0.22 to 0 within 4 days.
