Odd Problem

First of all let me say this is kinda gross but it concerns me so I am going to ask anyway!
Last night I was watching my tank and nature called my stars & stripes puffer. He is quite a big guy (9-10") and makes a big mess when this happens. All of a sudden my Kludziger (spelling) Wrasse swam over and ate the feces from my puffer. A little more disturbing is that the Wrasse started nipping at the puffers butt while he was doing his business! The wrasse never spit anything back out either! I know it's kinda disgusting, but is this normal? Will the wrasse get sick? I feed the fish everyday a reasonable ammount, the tank params are A-ok. Thanks

yes it is normal for fish to do this i use to see my damsels eat each others crap and even when i had fresh water fish they use to do this

Thanks, I have had all these fish except for the wrass (sf eel, marroon clown, huma trigger, puffer) for a bit over a year and never seen any of them do it. Oh well, at least he is somewhat normal i guess.
