Will a Coral Banded's legs grow back?

[j. crow]

After a bad molt my Coral Banded lost most of its legs and it's claws..
It's already molted again and regrow it's claws (Smaller than before) but will it's legs grow back?

with each molt it should regrow these parts.....

Thanks, will his claws grow back to their old size? Or will they stay small?

Coral Banded Shrimp actually will take their own legs and/or claws off to avoid aggressive behavior from other inhabitants. They will grow back and should be normal in size. There is a video on youtube of a person that had a coral banded shrimp in with their mantis shrimp...the CBS kept handing the mantis body parts...I didn't finish watching the video because I knew what would happen...but it was neat to observe the behavior of the shrimp.

My CB shrimp lost one claw and arm about 2 weeks ago and molted a new arm this morning. Amazing! It's not like it grew back slowly, it just re-appeared!
