I got flatworms problems in my tank and heard that Scooter Blenny eats them. My questions is that will Scooter Blenny eat flatworms on the tank walls? I know they will eat them on the rocks.

Already tried six-line wrasse and it doesn't want to eat the flatworms.

I read somewhere yellow coris wrasses eat them to. Scooter blennies are actualy mandarins and so have the same feeding difficulties, seeing as your goal is to get rid of all the flatworms, You will also need to be ready to meet its feeding demands after the fact as well.

i had scooters to take care of this problem... i dont remember if they ate directly from the wall or not, but i think you can help frlatworms to get off the glass just by scraping them down ...what fish never took care is the fw in the places it cannot reach in rock work...so i would look from the side of the tank and see a flatworms....
from that point i decided to go with salifert and thought that im save to use it.. i had two scooters in 40 g tank and i had not seen fw in any other places other then deep caves way too difficult for fish to get into... so i used salifert and it killed all flat worms with a lot of damage to corals ....if you dont see many flatworm in your tank and you have a predator taking care of i,t chances are you have plenty fw where your fish cant get to.
