emerald crab question

[madysmom]

Hello all i purchased an emerald crab today actually about 2 hours ago and now that i am looking at him he has 4 legs on his left side and only 2 on his right side it is not effecting his climbing ability any. but my question is will they grow back or should i be concerned?? i have never had a crab in my tank before and just dont want to chance him dying please let me know soon thank you in advance.

the next time it molts it should have the legs back.

Yep, they will grow back, I had that situation before as well, no claws or missing limbs, but they grew back fine.

same with my arrow crab. When they molt sometimes they'll lose their legs but will usually survive the growing back. My arrow was down to like two legs and didn't make it.
