Stringy clown poop?

[Sipec]

Is my clown ok? She seems to have white stringy poop, could it be stress related as I just added a new light and did a big water change?

 

[Coastie Reefer]

that's often a sign of an internal parasite.

Stringy white poo is typically related to two possible causes. It can be intestinal cells from not having eaten in a long time (typical of fish rapidly shipped through the supply chain) or internal parasites. Using a binder like Focus to get Metroplex (or General Cure) and Kanaplex to stick to food is often the best way to treat them if it is internal parasites.

White stringy poop:

Feed pellets soaked in (1 tablespoon):
2 scoop focus
1 scoop general cure (metro and prazi)
1 scoop Fenbendazole
A lil garlic (just for taste)

A scoop is the little scoops that come with seachem focus / metro

Is general cure coral and invert safe?

 

[RamsReef]

When you use it with focus it binds it to the food, reef safe.

To a point I believe if a crab gets a hold of it then it might be an issue but generally good to go

Also is there any negative side effects for fish?

Suppressed appetite.

Suppressed appetite.

Wouldn't that just mean the parasite is dead and they don't have to eat for 2 creatures?

 

[RamsReef]

No, when you are sick do you feel like eating all the time?
