Fish eat fish poop?

[brikhouz44]

My coral beauty is eating my yellow tangs rather large bowel movements. Someone want to explain what's going on here?
Anyone had this happen before, or do I just have a special fish (or sick fish)?

My Kole Tang eats poop all of the time from my Diamond Goby. The last time I saw it was a few days ago. They get along fine but the Goby had a long string of crap hanging from him and the tang swam after him to get it. It was so funny because the goby thought he was being attacked but the Tang just wanted a snack
