No I haven't noticed...what does that mean? The white poop and the white horizontal linr?

The white horizontal line is normal for them; but white stringy poop would mean intestinal worms: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/internal-parasites-intestinal-worms.267419/

Intestinal worms can also cause a fish to be very skinny, so that's why I was asking about the poop.

Ok so looking at the pic I took I guess she does have that line but its more yellow then white. You can zoom in on the pic I attached previously...i have not seen the poop. I saw her very briefly eating mysis this morning...i think I need to go buy her some seaweed though?

Yes, all tangs need nori. It is a staple of their diet.

Which kind?

Which kind?

You can give them regular supermarket bought Nori sheets meant for rolling sushi as long as it doesn't have any other ingredients like sesame oil or whatever, it should just be roasted seaweed.

Ok great thanks... and what's the best way to feed it? By hand or with the clip?

 

[Swoody]

Clip since they visit it continually.... like grazing in the wild.

 

[ashley]

Ok great. Thanks

Yes, depending upon which protozoan it is. Also, intestinal worms are spread when another fish eats the white stringy poop. So I think we found one problem with your YT.

I haven't seen any white poop. What problem did we find?

You may not have seen the poop from Banana yet, but the fact that one of your other fish showed the poop means that the rest are likely infected as well. Fish are gross and eat each others poop all the time. Your yellow tang probably has them as well now too.

^^ This is the problem. If one fish has intestinal worms (white stringy poop), then odds are all of his tank mates have them as well.

Guys guys, the one that commented about the foxface isn't the OP. Granted, that doesn't mean Banana or the other poster's foxface do not have parasites but I thought I should mention that.
