That looks like a mix of zoanthellae and tons of different bacterial populations.
Given that nothing had any odor, it feels like it could have been the expelling of zooxanthellae due to distress. I'm not sure what killed it so quickly. I feel like stinging wouldn't have done it.

It’s rare when that’s the case (torch dying from sting). I think few corals pack that much of a punch. It would have to be a chalice or hydnodophora or galaxea. Torches beat pretty much everything else. If it was wild caught, it is possible that it just didn’t acclimate to captivity well. It does happen.

Yeah, probably the latter like you said. It looked so nice too for the entire first almost 2 weeks. But then, dead. Such a shame. At least it's isolated to just this coral, I hope.
