I noticed a yellowish/brown string hanging out of my coral beauty today. I'm assuming it is poo. Is this a sign of internal parasites or some other type of infection? Or does the string of poo have to be white to signify an internal infection??

White would certainly be indicative of parasites ... other colors, less certain, IIRC.
Correct, internal parasites, probably flagellates.
Treat with food dosed with metroplex + focus.
Thanks for all of the responses! Have some focus ordered and on the way. Should have it tomorrow. For now I'll just mix in a scoop of metro to some thawed out frozen food.^^ This; yellow could just mean intestinal irritation i.e. upset tummy. But if you see white, you've got a problem and should jump on feeding Metroplex + Focus ASAP.
Any chance it could be a bacterial infection? Should I treat with some kanaplex with the metro just in case?
