Worms or Chaeto?

[Slegnev37]

My Naso Tang normally has big quickly dissolved poops but I noticed this today. I recently added Chaeto for what it's worth.

Could be a sign of an internal parasite.. long stringy poops can be signs of that!

I will let others chime in too though!

I would expect chaeto to add bulk to the feces, I’ve even seen it come out mostly undigested, this looks more like mucus to me. Could be internal protozoans. Check the article section here, I have an article posted on medicated food and there is also a med food calculator another member developed.
