Sick Mandarin?

I have a 20 gallon tank with just a mandarin in it, a bit like a refugium with low flow and a lot of algae so there are a lot of pods. She also eats brine and mysis. Anyway, I was just looking at her and she seems to have a white string coming out of her poo hole, it is about an inch long.....anyone seen this happen before or know what it might be?
 
Sometimes, white stringy feces can be an indication of an internal bacterial infection. How long have you had the fish? It's eating but are you noticing it looking thin or pinched at all?
 
Yea she is eating, I feed her brine and mysis every 3 or 4 days and she will eat pods the other days. Can you do anything about an internal bacterial infection? She has been hanging out on top of the powerhead a lot tonight and now she is breathing pretty slow. Any medicine I can get?
