You are probably dealing with Brown Jelly Disease. How is the flow on the torch? Lighting? Water parameters? I would try to frag the dead pieces off while you have the chance. I would cut into two healthy pieces if I were you.

I would say to hydrogen peroxide dip it also but I’m unsure of the mix needed to do that maybe someone that does will chime in

+1 on salty dogs message. A revive dip or some type of coral dip would help the infection. Maybe some pest might fall off as well. I've used iodine as a dip if you have some around. 5 minutes max, and maybe 2-3 drops in a Tupperware. You never can be too sure. Good luck!

Lots if great advice and +1 on dipping.

It looks like it could be getting shaded by the torch above it....perhaps placing it on the sand bed may help after the dip.

I would check your perimeters again and increase your salary just a little, euphyllia also like established tanks, your dead/dry rocks look pretty new, id hold off on adding more till you start getting more coralline growth.
