Thanks for following my thread, cksss!

Those roots look like they were buried in mud before. Consider trying to approximate that in your tank. Since mangroves are higher plants, their roots are made to take up nutrients from the soil. You could plant it in a pot and put that in your tank, for more flexibility. Some thoughts. Good luck!
