I have a beautiful...or shall I say "had" golden torch that only a day ago one head looked like it was dying. This morning another head is down. I think it might be the Brown Jelly disease I have been hearing about.

Looks like Brown Jelly to me.

Just to help more, can you give your parameters?
 
I would shut your water off and take the coral out and cut off the infected heads. Be careful not to get the brown jelly into your tank or on other healthy corals. When you add the coral back into the tank place it in a spot with higher flow.
 
Yea, that's BJD. I would remove all corals that are even showing signs of it, it can spread really fast and wipe out corals in a few days.
 
****...thanks guys....Headed home at lunch time...in about 20 thanks for the advice

I think one of my Acans is a casualty.
 
As above, remove it and frag the good head off and give it an Iodine dip.
This could just be me but can you get a closer pic as there could be a pest on it?
 
I just had to deal with this and tossed out a gold torch... sorry. :(
