Hey everyone, just noticed today that my clownfish’s poop is white, is it ok? He’s been acting normal. Picture of poop:

Mix his food with Focus and General Cure for about 14 days or until symptoms disappear. If you are careful about feeding the medicated food like this it is reef safe.

Is there a chance it could go away on its own? I’ll try to order some though

The white stringy poop is a tell tale sign of an internal parasite. Try to treat it as soon as possible as it could progress to the point where the fish stops eating.
