So this is Myra she is at least 4 y/o and has been laying eggs for about a month now. About 4 days ago we noticed this. My daughter thinks they are some eggs still attached to Myra. Today we did a 20% water change and will get water chems for you all soon. She is acting normal including eating and doesn't seem to have any other issues.

I dont think that's the eggs because I remember reading something that said that when clown fish lay eggs something comes out of them and that's where the eggs come out of. That might be what it is
 
Fluke/worms?

For the time being, I would just assume constipation. A lot times it works itself out (quite literally), but feeding a boiled then peeled pea may help (fiber).

Afterwards, look for white stringy poop. This would indicate flukes or more likely, intestinal parasites in this case.
