Is this brown jelly?

It might be. You would be best to frag off that head that's about gone and then do an iodine dip. There are lots of threads here about iodine dipping, just need to do a search.

Coral RX isn't for treating bacterial infections. Iodine is. Coral RX treats pests that can come in on corals.

If you want to try and treat a bacterial infection you need to use iodine. Again there are lots of threads on using it.

Coral RX

Product Description
Coral Rx was designed with the health of your corals in mind. The proprietary blend of natural ingredients contains no iodine, which is known to stain corals, nor does Coral Rx contain oxidizers whose by-products are often toxic and continue to react with surrounding tissue. Coral Rx removes many of the "hard to deal with" coral pests like Flatworms, and coral/polyp eating Nudibranchs. Coral Rx is hard on parasites yet easy on corals making it a perfect prophylactic treatment protecting your coral investment. Whether or not you quarantine your corals before putting them in your aquarium, a dip in Coral Rx decreases the probability of adding a parasite into your aquarium eco-system. Coral Rx can be used in treating many types of live corals; soft, LPS and SPS. Use it to treat infected colonies and before bringing new live corals into your aquarium.
