White stringy poop usually means internal parasites. Try soaking food in garlic to entice eating. Talk to your LFS where you got it about medication. Was the clown wild caught?

If you dont get her to eat something, she will die soon. My husband had a w/c onyx clown that died because she had internal parasites and we couldnt get her to eat. We took her back to the LFS because they have a hospital tank, she wouldnt eat there, and she died within a matter of days. Try to get her eating and get her medicine asap.

The white strands of feces remind me of constipation, could this explain the lack of feeding?

White stringy feces tend to be indicative of irritated intestinal tracts, parasites are just one potential irritant.
If you decide to treat for internal parasites, all the fish in the tank need to be treated at the same time. What else seems different about this fish? Any additional slime coating on the body? Is it breathing faster then the other clown? Laying down more? Swimming in the corner? etc.

Vary the diet and could be a bacterial infection as well.
