that's a nice looking cray

i've always just left it on the rocks i've gotten it on, bristlenose plecos love to eat the stuff, algae eating shrimp might too

i've got some in a heavily planted tank with cherry shrimp, they eat the baby shrimp, and i also barely ever see them since they hide IN the java moss so much that covers 1/4 of the tank in a plastic mesh that makes a wall
