I got this torch coral over a month ago and suddenly there is a black cloudy ish bubbles came from one of its head. Any idea and help would be nice

Couldnt see anything from the picture. But I would ensure its not brown jelly. Could never hurt to do a quick dip to be safe.

I've been keeping Euphyllia for 14 years (I think), and I've luckily never seen it. But yes, that seems like what people call 'Brown Jelly,' which is a bacterial infection. Sorry.
 
BJD, thought to be caused by ciliates? or at very least has a lot of ciliates upon inspection...I would try searching down a potassium salt dip like REEF PRIMER?
 
Darn, that was I was worried about but it was hard to see from pictures. That is definitely brown jelly. I would remove immediately and dip in iodine. Unfortunately, it looks like it’s probably too far gone. I’ve lost numerous torches to BJD. It happens fast. I’ve only managed to save a couple that have developed it by dipping right away.
 
BJD, The brown jelly usually means it's over for the coral :(. Unfortunately, it is a bacterial infection that causes it - kali
