For a day and a half this guy's butt area has looked odd. Then today I discovered this thick white thing trailing out of it! Baffled and need some help, especially since this was a $250 fish!

Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Help! No clue what this is!

It's likely an internal parasite. Here's a good article

De-Worming Marine Fish - Be a Super Pooper Snooper!
White stringy poop typically means intestinal parasites. I believe Metroplex is the treatment....in a hospital tank.
Sent you a PM on treatment options.
There is now blood coming from his bottom. We've pulled him out and put him a hospital tank. Any ideas? Someone suggested he was compacted with poop.
Thanks for all of your help but he just died
You can try feeding peas, but I'm still thinking internal or intestinal parasites.
Edit to Add: I was typing while you added above post. So sorry for the loss. I'd be going back to that LFS. That fish was infested when you got it. Again sorry.
