is this normal for a emerald crab

[teviesfish]

I got three emerald crabs today from sw.com and they all have two claw arms but one of them. Is this normal for them to loose one and still be ok? or do they grow another one? ***)

I had one that lost an arm in a fight against another emerald while in the bag on the way home from the lfs, and he grew it back after a while. It took a long time, if I remember correct, it was a month or more.

yep .. after a few molts it'll have a new claw.

yes that is perfectly normal to loose an arm. I have a red emerald that I purchased a while age with one arm, when he molted it grew back.
