Anubias looks best when planted on driftwood or rocks. Just tie the
rhizome onto your driftwood/rock with a piece of string. Even if you tie
the rhizome way up the driftwood, the roots will find its way to the
gravel. Some will glue itself to the driftwood/rock. This normally takes
about a week or two. Then you can cut-off the string, if it bothers you,
or you leave it to rot.

I have never seen them munching away greens and algae. BTW, they are
excellent snail-buster.
