Aquarium Advice Addict
I noticed today that my Auriga Butterfly (threadfin butterfly) had a stringy substance coming out of him. It was whiteish in color. Does anybody know what this is and how I can treat it if need be. I added 9 lbs of live rock 2-hours before I saw the fish taking a stringy poop. When I put the rock in he was picking at it and eating the worm tubes etc. I am wondering if maybe the stuff on the rock was bad/dead since it may not have been 100% cured, I don't know. Unfortuantely, a couple of my other fish took a couple bites of this stringy stuff. They probaby thought it was a worm. But when they bit into it, it would just kind of disperse into the water. Any insight would be appreciated.
