If the plants in his home tank are fake, then there would be no harm in taking them with you- and I would recommend doing so, as he will be stressed from the new tank, the travel, and new location- having some hiding spots and something he recognizes would help keep him a little calmer. The fake plants can build up bacteria on them (the good kind), but most will be in your filter, then substrate- so removing them won't cause an issue in the tank as a whole.
