Mine had no claws when my LFS guy gave him to me. He will molt and get a new(probably smaller) one in a couple of weeks at the most. He actually lost one again later and it grew back. NO WORRIES (hakuna matata!)
ok good thank you. i think i figured out how he lost it....i saw him pinching my pufferfish today with his good arm, hes a violent little guy hope he doesnt become someones lunch
