Default Coral sand

Here is an interesting fact. Parrot fish eat the algae in the coral. They crunch up the coral into fine white sand and the sand passes straight through them and out the other end. That's how these fish help to form the beautiful sand of coral beaches. Next time you're on a white sand beach, think about that - - you are sitting on fish poop.


So when you hear someone say oh poop you can say yes it is.
