    Humma

    That all depends on how much of the high protein diet you allow him(Scarlett Red missing Leg Crabs?haha [edited for content] happens). Ideal for triggers is krill, brine, mysis shrimp, anything fatty. Flake he'll eat, but flake alone won't keep him alive. I like to go mainly flake yet high...

    Scarlet Hermit

    he should be fine and dandy unless the reason which he lost (naturally or battle) his leg comes back for the rest of him. Could be another crab (purchased or along for the ride in the LR), fish, or maulting (they shed a lil' like a snake does). Only time will tell. Later, fishkidz
