brown jelly disease maybe?
never actually seen it before but thats what it sounds like to me maybe started by the corals being close enough to fight

It sounds like brown jelly disease, but I've only experienced it with some LPS in the past. I found it to be totally treatable by suctioning off of the brown jelly-like material, followed with a Lugol's dip, then keep the coral in a good alternating water flow. If the brown jelly reappears, repeat process.
Watch for reinfection at the edges of the receding edge of the coral.
