Fragments

Is this sentence correct:

Top answer

Christine Christie a tank with a spacious burrow As I understand "burrow", it is a sort of dugout/hole in the earth functioning as a land animal's dwelling. I'd use "cavity" instead of "burrow" there.

"The blue lobster was placed in a tank with a spacious burrow and with various rock fragments and plants around recalling his natural habitat."

"Algae" is at the same time too specific and too general, and it is usually just slime, which is what I picture in a tank. "Remind" was used wrong. You wanted "recalling", reminding one of. I delete unnecessary commas.
