I put in a juvenile red coris wrasse into my display tank (about 5 days ago) after a 2 week qt period. While in qt, it had a busted mouth, but it mostly healed, and it behaved and ate like normal. I didn't notice anything wrong with its poop.
A day after it went in my display it starts to poop greenish-white, stringy poop. In the display it behaves normally, it flips small rocks on the sand and is an aggressive feeder for being just a few days in the display. I haven't noticed any aggression from tankmates (a bluehead wrasse, adorned wrasse, 2 damsels, eibli angelfish, foxface, pajama cardinal, 2 ocellaris clowns, and a jawfish). It does have a nip on the dorsal fin, but nothing else aside from that. The only atypical behavior I see is that it will sometimes swim up and down the glass. I figure the poop issue is either from stress for moving to the display or potentially a missed
I added a picture of it below, it doesn't look like a worm since it isn't a consistent shape I would expect from a worm and the poop isn't purely white. I figure the poop issue is either from stress for moving to the display or potentially a bacterial infection I missed since I didn't medicate it during qt as I saw no issues besides the busted mouth and I didn't want to stress more than I had to. If I could get some insight on what it could be and ways to treat it that are reef safe, I would appreciate it. (I would like to avoid tearing down my display to catch this guy).
