uhh oh tang poop

so the my yellow tang is having some thin white filaments come out with his poop. I dont want to jump to conclusions about parasites just yet. I feed him chaeto, nori, formula 2, ulva, and other living seaweed... could these white strings be leftovers/ un-digestable parts from the chaeto?

 

Could be and it may have eaten too much and is having troubles passing.

 

With a tank full of tangs I can say ive seen some interesting stuff pass from them. You said cheato? I have seen strings from mine when they eat it if some gets out of my fuge.

 

thanks what i was looking for! thank you

 

Dingo, I know that alot of people here will argue this, But I feed my Tangs 1 Romaine leaf a day. They are all VERY HEALTHY and digest it easier than Chaeto. JMO.

 

Yeah, chaeto will do that. I would not worry about it, but I would try to limit the amount of chaeto the tangs can eat.
