Is this fish poop?

There's this brownish white stringy thing coming out the belly area of my female clownfish, just want to confirm it's nothing

it looks like it - whitish poop is usually not a good sign though and can indicate parasites if I'm not mistaken. Is the clown ok otherwise?

Sorry for the terrible video lol

I can confirm that it is something, just not sure what?

Maybe have a little taste and report back with the results?

Yes, it is poop.
As long as it doesn’t look like there’s blood in it or it’s white and stringy (and you don’t feed a lot of mysis), I wouldn’t be worried.

This is the first time I saw one of them poop lol, thanks for the quick responses everyone

I saw fish poop for the first time, if that’s what it is. I am still so new to this.
