Clear and brown stringy poop

[TvanB1]

My foxface and copperband seem to have brown and clear stringy poop. Could this be intestinal worms? Been feeding them bloodworms which may be the issue but just wanted to make sure.
Thanks.

It's not a problem unless it's white stringy poop.

Great, thanks!
Yeah. Upon further inspection they look like undigested bloodworms

Bloodworms aren't precisely a natural food for marine fish - IIRC, there aren't any insects in the ocean. Chitin is probably something they don't digest all that well.

Yeah
She loves bloodworms but im trying to wean her onto fresh clams and LRS. She eats small amounts of LRS, PE Mysis, and PE Mysis pellets but not nearly as voraciously as she eats bloodworms.

I've been looking for a copperband during the past few weeks and most the shop owner told me that grindal worms are widely accepted by copperbands. grindal worms are easy to breed at home (that's what I have been told), a plastic container, soil, water and some food for the worms is enough. I googled it and some people even grow them on cleaning pads and sponge as well. After I have a nice grindal worm population I'll buy a copperband
