is it poop?

Is his anus swollen? You might want to google 'callamamus worm' and see if it looks similar to what is happening to your angel. Brine shrimp and stuff will turn poop pink, but worms are definitely something you do not want in the tank!

Did it look like a worm or just fish waste.
Do you feed any pink foods.
Did it look like a prolapse, the organs sticking out like the intestines.
