I noticed something hanging from my male clownfish. It is not very white, I can see red (I assume from the red flake fish food) in it. It fell off as I took the second picture. Basically, I want to know if I need to worry about it. See the attached pictures for reference.

No need to worry unless it becomes white stringy poo. :)

So, the poop would be 100% white if I needed to worry about it? It had some white to it but, I could see red and it was thicker, almost like a sausage.

Yes, but even some white could mean worms (or flagellates) have reached a fish's intestines. But do not treat unless you see thin solid white poop. Like this:

Alright, that is what I was wondering. Thank you.
