Buy some Prazipro and follow as directed. If you have inverts, +/- if it will affect them. Do some research on the board.

Usually means worms/nematodes/trematodes

Stringy poo can be a sign of internal parasites or simple diarrhea. There are two common internal parasites which cause stringy poo one is nematodes the other protozoan each requires a different medication and you can't tell what kind you by looking so you start with one med and if that doesn't work you try the other.

Here's a link describing the problem and the meds.
