Yes, the stringy feces are pretty common with sick clownfish - can be protozoans, bacteria, or just mucus. Can you try some frozen foods like chopped up mysids?

I got him eating and he’s not breathing hard anymore I researched and I think he was pooping white strings because I didn’t have the right food atm
