Coral Banded Shrimp

:notsure:
My Coral banded Shrimp has just shed for the first time while it has been in my tank and I noticed it is now missing it's right claw. Does anyone know why or has had the same problem before.

Not sure why it is missing a claw but I had the almost the same thing happen to me with my CBS. I saw a claw laying on the sandbed and thought that my angel had eaten him. I later found him fully intact. Good luck. Sorry no answers from me.

:scared: thanks for the reply, but something else has happened. I went to my LFS and got a few snails, a hermet, and a jawfish, and when I was acclimating them to the tank I noticed my CBS was missing and I turnd over all the rocks looking for him but I didn't see it. A little while after I found it but it lookde crushed and seemed lifeless until I looked at its mouth and it was still moving, is it dead or are all its limbs busted.:help:

Same thing happend to mine. He lost his right claw. He did grow it back though It seemed like he grew it over night I was pretty shocked when I saw it. I think he lost it in a fight with my porcupine puffer.
