Most fish tend to drift to the lower levels of the tank when they sleep. They're going to start disappearing.
Crayfish tried to escape

I'd still try the crayfish in the pond. the difference between escaping from a pond and escaping from a tank, is that he can get back in the pond... if he likes the territory, he won't want to explore far.
one of my crabs escaped recently and seemed eager to get back in the tank once I found him.... but maybe I'm projecting.

I keep hearing that and I suppose it's true, but I have just placed a blue cray in my tank and all he ever does (that I can tell) is stay in a rock cave I have in the middle of my tank. I have one Blue Gouramie that insists on sharing that cave with him and he's never went after that fish. Now, I do try to keep him satisfied. There is NEVER an absence of shrimp pellets outside of his cave doors, so I make it easy for him. I do tend to wander sometimes what would happen if I made him hunt a little bit for his food.
i keep a pair of blue crays and all they do is. 1 stays in his plant all day and only comes out at night. the other wanders around the tank most of the day and night digging under his bridges corrals and caves. none of them seem to bother my other fish maybe just shoo them if they get close to there hidding place.
one of my P. alleni would climb plants and try to ambush fish as they swam under him. I named him Tarzan because of that. Unfortunately (or fortunately for the fish) he's terrible at it and has never caught a fish.
In another tank I have a Cherax quadricarinatus that feels the need to remodel the tank every few weeks.
Good luck with your crayfish!
