According to the video, "They often break off whole chunks of coral, which they grind up with these teeth they have, not in their mouths but in their throats, called Pharyngeal Teeth."

Anna explains, "The coral passes right through them and comes out the other end as a fine, white sand."

According to Gross Science, "The amount varies by species but it's estimated that a single giant humphead parrotfish can poop out over 11,000 pounds of sand a year."

A huge amount of the sand in Caribbean and Hawaiian beaches was actually produced this way.
