I feel the cray will have them. but if you keep the cray well fed, and have a fair size tank. you may find its worth a try. i use plecs cory and a cae for the algae, both crab and cray will pick at it too.

I have kept a cray with apple snails before. He didn't eat them - but I kept him well fed, in a large tank, where there were tons of rocks (so he didn't much come into contact with them). If you want to try it make sure that then apples are fairly large (>1 inch-ish).
