Hi everyone, I’m very new to saltwater fish keeping after coming over from the freshwater hobby. I’ve just recently (a week ago) purchased our first two juvenile clownfish for my 200L tank. They seem very active, eating well and happy. I’ve noticed long trails of white/clear faeces - video attached. In the freshwater world I would be querying internal parasites (tapeworms) and considering a praziquantel treatment. Just thought I’d check to see on opinions about this in the saltwater side - is this normal or a concerning sign of parasites? Does it require treatment? Thanks so much! Excited to learn from everyone’s experience here! Jess
