bengali cardinal: stringy white poop
Hello,
I recently purchased a bengali cardinal from a fellow reefer that is currently in my QT tank. First day it ate, after that is stopped and now i noticed a stringy white poop coming from it. Any ideas? Also in QT is a flame angel and two clowns.

Are the other fish exhibiting any other symptoms? Sounds to be an intestinal worm/parasite. You have some options:
Since the fish is not eating you could treat the tank with Metronidazole. You could also try Prazipro although it is more for external worms and it is pretty easy on the fish. So much so most people use it as part of their QT protocol.

Other fish are fine and eating good. I really dont want to put any medifications. Would this infect my other fish?
