Here is the background; I set up my tank with the lofty goal as a Hawaiian lagoonal patch reef. I have large areas of deep (>6") sand abutted by two large stands of "as close as I could find in locality to Hawaii" live rock. I had to make many compromises along the way, since many Hawaiian species are restricted (including some niche species that I could only get from the Atlantic, so I guess it is a "patch lagoonal patch reef"). I was patient and waited until my tank had been up for a year before introducing some sea grasses by planting some Halophila ovalis in place of Halophila hawaiiana. I know that they aren't the same, but I thought that it kept the overall look and spirit of the tank.
So, I planted the H. ovalis deep in the sand, but the current has exposed some rhizomes and roots of a couple of the offshoots. These were only planted a couple of days ago, so should I attempt to bury these or let nature take its course. I am concerned that if I mess with them too much that I may cause more damage than its worth.

Its what I'd do at least.
