Help my Torch

Ok, I went away for 1 day and came back to my torch being coated with slime. It looks like it bleached out under the slime. Just yesterday this coral was doing awesome. I did do a 10 percent water change yesterday. Could this of caused it? What is this slime and how should I treat it? Is it going to spread?

I did a Coralrx dip. Removed the slime. The Coral smelled like a dead clam. I put it back in the tank after the dip. Any luck the coral will get its color back and survive?
