I think my coral beauty has a parasitic infection. Stringy poop numerous times a day. She is eating fine. Can I treat the food with Metroplex in my display tank or will hurt the inverts?

Need a lot more....how old tank and size for starters....how long in your system, what are you feeding, how many other fish, parameters, give us the full breakdown. No clue on Metroplex, but if its a medication, its not going near my reef....FWIW, I've had stringy poop out of my CB once or twice over the years. Not something to be ignored all the same....

Im pretty sure that the parameters and how old the tank is has nothing to with a parasitic infection. But thanks though.
