I can't imagine my jag leaving the plants in place. He clears 1/4 of the tank bottom of gravel, even if I put it back. I recently saw him move a decent sized flower pot cave I made... An impressive feat that shocked me, as it's coated in silicone and gravel/rocks.
Cctateo time will tell, the only plant he really messed with was a piece of Java moss that I didn't tie down he dragged it over to his hidey spot and now can't get snuck up on
