  In a year, one large parrotfish can produce 1,000 pounds (450 kg) of sand, the weight of a baby grand piano.
  Most of the sand comes from waves sloshing onto rocks though, right? right?
  
  most of the sand is eroded inland and deposited by rivers
  
  I had never thought about the reproductive cycles of grand pianos, fascinating
  
  Whales eat the bones into sand

Being able to live of coral? Did you forget an “F”?
- There. I ixed it. 👇😃
  
  You are the best “F”-r
  
  I love your work!
- Definitely should have been "live off coral".
  
  Dammit. I always make that mistake. 😣
  The grammar checker also shrugs at this. 🤷‍♂️
I laughed a little too hard at this, because I just don’t love the beach. Felt like I should send it to my friends who are beach nuts, but looked down at my toast with honey I was eating and realized how much we enjoy things that are made by the excretion of other creatures.
Fun fact!
Parrotfish often change sex over the course of their life! 🏳️‍⚧️
- The animals are full of surprises. 🤯
