Coral Banded Shrimp

[divetroop]

I bought a coral banded shrimp today. I noticed that it is missing a large arm (claw). Will it grow a new one? If so, how long does it take? :notsure:
I also bought an orange spotted goby with a partner, a pistol shrimp. The pistol shrimp has begun digging a cave, but the goby has not gone in it. I believe he hasn't found his friend. Will he eventually find the shrimp?

Mine molted two weeks ago and lost one of his clawed arms in the process. He is fine, I was told it will grow back. Hope this helps ease your mind!

Your CBS will grow his arm back. Give it a few days to adjust to its new home and do a water change. My CBS will molt every time i do a water change. Once yours molts he will get his arm back

no, it doesn't grow back right away, mine molted 2 weeks ago, it hasn't grown back yet, though it will in time.

Whatever, i was just tring to help. When i put my CBS in my tank he had lost his arm, and never showed any signs of growing it back, but after i did a water change he molted and he had his arm back. I wasn't to full size but it didn't take long to get their.
