    The slimy "feel" its a defense mechanism. Any frogspawn, torch or lps produces this slime when disturbed. If I understood right, the coral was very recently fragged from the mother colony and that's a good reason to be stressed and slime away. I advise, since u already dip it in iodine and brushed him with a tooth brush, to choose a spot with mid light and low flow and let him recover. The more u "mess" or handle any coral the worse they will do and stress can definitely kill it.
    The little brown tip on the gorgonian I have also seen many times. They never lasted very long in my aquarium.

    What are your other parameters on? Specially nitrates, ammonia and phosphates?
    Is the Brown spreading over different areas of your aquarium or just on the corals?
