I was tanking out my rockwork today to get rid of that stupid DAMNsel and i noticed that my coral banded shrimp had lost the bottom part of his left claw!!! I am pretty sure it wasnt from me moving the rock. He is eating fine and his behavior hasnt changed, but will that claw grow back??? on SWF.com it says the CBS likes to be seen and hang out in the front of the tank, but my guy is always hiding and rarely comes out. Is the broken claw the reason for his hiding? How long will it take to heal.

Mine always hides in the back of the rocks until the lights go out. I have never seen him in the front of the tank with the lights on. My cleaner shrimp hangs out all day long though.

Mine is always hiding, as soon as the lights go out thou he is king of the hill. He is huge, I have a 250gallon tank and he actually looks big in it. I'll bet he has a 8 inch arm span by now.

Shouldnt have anything to do with it, but he should grow his claw back the next time he molts. My CBS molts about once a month or so...
