I got these fish two days ago and noticed yesterday that one of the fish were really bloated but then this morning it appeared even bigger is there anything I can do to help the fish or is she constipated?

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Egg binding is rare in clownfish, and usually causes a general "bloating" of the entire back of the abdomen. This looks more concentrated at the anus. That can be a prolapse. Is the fish still eating? Have you seen it void any waste today?

I tried to steer away from feeding for the same thought that it might be bloating but when I did it looked eager to eat and I did see a long string of what I think is poop come out
