    Parasite ID

    This filefish has been healthy and eating mysis daily. Yesterday I noticed his feces was seemingly large and he seemed unable to pass it. Throughout the day it progressed to the second photo. Today it looks back to the first pic. Any idea on what it is or what to do for it? Thank you to all.
