One of my clowns has this thin long poo, color is bright brown I think? Does it look like he has parasites or it's just normal?

what do you feed your clownfish normally. Pellets can cause stringy poop. Try feeding frozen for a couple days. If it doesn't improve I recommend treating with api general cure as that means it more than likely is internal parasites

I feed them frozen brine shrimp, not a single pellet. :/
 
Its a hard call. I have a 2 year old fish that has long stringy poop. No amount of cure made any difference. My other fish dont have it.
 
Probably parasites. Try metroplex/focus instead of general cure
 
Not sure if brine shrimp would do that. Likely parasites, but I would also upgrade my food to mysis, spirulina brine or rotate through a few.
Brine shrimp alone is basically feeding them drive-thru food every day, so while it may not be the cause, it's definitely not helping.
