They dont eat poo, but do eat any food that sinks to the bottom that the other fish cant/wont eat.
They definatly don't eat their own poo, when I moved my corys from my Betta tank to the big tank the gravel was surprisingly clean when I did the weekly water change. |

No the Corys don't eat poo.
They are subseptible to infections from dirty substrate though. So try to keep it vacumed regularly. |

Maybe its being sifted under the sand? |

Since cories will sift through and even dig through the top layer of sand, you may see less visible but that doesn't remove the wastes from the tank.
