Hello everybody. I just got a copper, banded butterfly fish a few days ago. I have had a red planaria issue in my tank. I am suddenly noticing that there are less and less on the glass. And the butterfly fish seems to be kind of bumping into the glass like he’s pecking at something, could it be possible that he is eating the worms?

That seems possible. They like fleshy foods and the are voracious feeders that can make a dent quickly when meaty foods are available. I have not heard that they will eat these before, but I suspect that someone else has if that is what you are seeing.
