So my clowns have had stringy white poo for a bit now but they were still eating really well so I didn't think much of it. But after reading I am thinking internal parasite. I have both metro and prazipro on hand. I assume I need to pull the clowns and put them in another tank for treatment?

Been there and done that(to many times :sad: ) prazi works great. I have heard it's reef safe, but did not want to test that out myself.

Yes it is there all the time. K I got them moved to a temp tank but it was just with water from the main tank which is only a 32g. I have them in a cooler thing that I use for fish when needed with the top closed on it it stays pretty consistent with temp. I will be doing daily water changes as I don't have any beneficial bacteria to put in there. Unless I should add a few pieces of my live rock that is in the sump area?
I have their food soaking in metro as from what I was told on my local forum that will be the best to get it into their system.
