Disease on torch

I have a number of different torches that are dying. The tissue on the costa is receding and there is something growing on the septa. Whatever this something is, it looks like white fine sand grains growing up the length of the septum. The tissue that surrounds this area is in a state of necrosis. Mesenterial filaments are also coming out of the infected area. Maybe some kind of a fungus.

What is this guys and what is the cure.

I tried to get a pic, but I just can't get any detail.

I dipped two of them in Revive, but I don't think that's going to cure it.

A little help here would be appreciated.
 
Wow my only experience with them is brown jelly. If possible i would frag off whatever is healthy.

Best of luck!
 
I have put the affected corals though two 15 min revive dips. The ones I did yesterday look a little better, but I fear there is no stopping the inevitable. My wall hammer is starting to show signs of the disease too. He has been in my tank for a year and a half.

I'm pretty sure its white band disease. I received two new torches from a major online retailer and they came in severely damaged and lost a bunch of their heads. Clearly this is where it started.:(

Any further advice or input would be appreciated.
