Hello I forgot if this was a issue I have a fish with stringy poop does that mean there’s something wrong

It could mean a lot of things like stress or food coloration...but usually it is a sign of something wrong inside with the fish. There are meds that you can get such as metroplex, general cure or furan 2 which can treat or help with some of the issues.

How old your tank?
What are your parameters?
How long have you had it?
Any other tank mates showing signs?
Any new additions to the tank recently?
Do you have a QT set up?

the tank Has been running for about3 months no issues with any of the otherfish or the cromies
I do have a coral who is looking down also but everything else seems fine
 
If you have a Quarentine tank you can put him in there and start treating for internal parasites.

You can mix most meds with food so the fish will eat it. Some meds you can also drop into the water but it works faster if the fish eats it.
 
If you feed mysis that could be the cause.
Why Mysis? I usually only feed flak and pellet, I tried mysis a few days ago and my 2 clowns are not eating have stringy poop. I dosed with Prazipro and I have 3 day Hex Food. Non of the fish are big eaters right now especially the clowns. None seem interested in the medicated food. But will kind of eat the flake except the clowns. I have had the clowns 2 years and they have grown and been fat and happy until now.
