Clownfish has white stringy poop

[Fishguy88]

I recently got 2 clownfish. The tank is 20 gallons and has 25 pounds of live rock in it. The fish are 1 fancy ocellaris, and a snowflake. Both are juveniles. They are active and are eating. I noticed today that the snowflake had a long stringy white poop. Could it just be from stress of being in a new tank? Or a parasite? How do you tell? And if it is a parasite how would you go about a treatment? I was looking into seachem paraguard and cupramine. I'm just nervous about that killing all the brittle stars that are in the live rock and in the sand. Would doing a dip work? Now I wish I had a qt tank, and is something that I'd like to have soon. But for now I will not. Thank you for the advice.

could be stress, food or parasite's not at all uncommon. I would keep an eye on it prazipro on hand if it persits. you will need a qt there is a sticky above that will help http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1207733

Thanks for the advice. It's eating omega 1 pellets. And I've only had them since yesterday. If it persists, how long should I wait to do the prazipro?

Prazipro. Had the same thing on a clown before.
