    what do you feed? My clown had white stringy poop and it was diet related. He was eating too much mysis - it's really high in protein. I started switching between brine and mysis and the white poop cleared up in a couple days. But if she starts acting sick, or it doesn't clear up, it could be parasites.

    White poop is most likely a sign of a bacterial infection, it is actually not all that uncommon in clowns. Try and get your hands on a product called "prazipro" that stuff works very well.

    well she has had it since i got her... months ago.
    i feed marine cuisine which is a mix of brine mysis and a few other smaller things, cyclopeeze, formula two, fish roe (which she goes crazy for), and the occasional flake... as well as nori but she doesnt eat any of that

    I don't know about that stuff. I have never tried to treat a bacterial infection with a parasite medication before. I would give prazipro a try, it's not all that expensive if that's what your worried about.
