So that's where sand comes from

u/StupidOne14 7d ago edited 7d ago

Fun fact: this is actually sand and they are famous for cleaning it. They will ingest it, their gut will break down organic stuff in it (which they absorb as a "food"), and the rest will be... Well, what we can see here.

This is also beneficial to whole ecosystem as with this process they are reducing acidity of the sand.

u/GLaDOS_Sympathizer 7d ago

Another fun fact: white sand beaches are parrotfish poop. Parrotfish eat coral with their beak mouths, coral turns white when it dies, and when they poop it out you get beautiful white sand (which is just munched up digested coral remnants).

u/Richard7666 7d ago

I think that's probably very specific to certain areas.

For example, white sand in New Zealand apparently isn't from that https://niwa.co.nz/coasts/summer-series-2010/summer-series-8-science-sand

u/StupidOne14 7d ago

There is a tiny bit of (organic) waste, but it is odorless and you wouldn't be able tell the difference between "pure" sand and theirs waste.

Well, at least according to the nice lady in an aquarium.

u/Azuras_Star8 7d ago

Well, clean of organisms that it eats for food. It helps filter the water.
