- Natural items cleaned of organics, as shells, corals, and sea fans.
- Driftwood (if soaked thoroughly and not containing shipworms or other organisms).

Aquascaping should be done to look as natural and accurate as possible, e.g.:
- Plants, rocks, wood, and other decorating objects should be in the proper tanks of the aquarium (e.g.,
- Items should be glued so glue does not show.
- Tie-downs should be hidden.

Finally, aquascaping should:
- Be fairly easy to move so filter can be cleaned under the aquascaping.
- Not have too many holes or crevices for food to get trapped in, or for animals to hide in so well they cannot be seen.
