cleaner shrimp lost an eye

[<scuba steve>]

Can a cleaner shrimp regrow an eye; my little guy looks like he lost one; I know they can regrow legs, but I dont know about eyes.

 

[bang guy]

I don't think so but to be honest I really don't know. If you see a new eye in the next couple months please let me know.

He has molted now and indeed he is growing what looks to be a new eye. It is about half the size and a little wierd color but I am pretty sure its an eye.
