What kind of substrate do you have at the rear of the tank? If you've got enough substrate for plants, I can't imagine a crayfish would move enough of it to uproot all the plants.

That said, yes, you can keep plants in pots. Plain terra cotta pots are an option. To keep things simple, fill them with your tank substrate.
