Clown pooping white???

[Donald Gilliss]

ive had my occ clown pair for just about as long as I’ve had my tank, which is about a year. Today I’ve notice the bigger one is pooping white..? This has never happened before so I’m a little worried

Is it a long string ?

 

[Coastie Reefer]

Stringy? Could be an internal parasite. Add anything new lately?

if its white stringy poop then it could be an indication of internal parasites. Adding metro and focus to its food for a minimal of 10 days should resolve it.

Yes it’s a long string, I would post a pic but it’s already detached.. what do I need to add to the food and where can I get it? I don’t have anything like that on hand. And I haven’t added any fish for a few months, just some frags I bought the past two weekends. Everything’s been fine until today, and the clown isn’t acting any different as far as I can tell. I feed mysis shrimp and sometimes pellets but it eats everything. It does like to hang out in my Monti since I don’t have a nem any longer...

Oh and I actually did purchase 2 sssf... almost forgot about those guys lol

Okay so I found the metro and focus that’s needed... how do I go about feeding it to her? Will it harm the other fish to eat it as well? I don’t want to get her out just to feed her every time bc I’m worried that’ll stress her out too much..
