I observed 2 Crustacea ostracod swimming near Plant A and seemed to be eating something near the leaves. I also observed a flat worm "gliding" around Plant A as well. Plant A looked to be alive and in good health, but Plant B, not so much. It may have been alive but the stems and leaves were starting to turn brown. After looking around the plants I decided to look for movement near the bottom. I didn't see much but I did see 1 small Crustacea ostracod near the surface of the mud/dirt.
The following links are examples of what I observed:
