Possible Parasite on Chromis Cyaneus?

[ikeasuperfan]

Hi all,
I just noticed a white line dangling from my new chromis.. I was wondering if this is some sort of parasite, maybe a nematode? If so, how do I treat it? No other symptoms, and is eating fine.

(Not sure why the 1st picture isn't oriented right, it was level and isn't having any trouble swimming.)

Sorry - I missed your post until just now. This isn’t coming out of the fish’s anus is it? Nematodes can sometimes do that. If it’s coming directly out of the fish’s skin, then I’m not sure what it could be.
