Coral Banded Shrimp

So I was looking at my tank last night and noticed that my CBS has lost one of his large arms! :sad:

Will it come back? Maybe when he molts next time? I hope!! :grumble:
 
I saw a YouTube video where a coral banded shrimp ripped off it's own arm to give it to a mantis in an attempt to save it's ass. Didn't work :mrgreen:
 
Here's one with the mantis vs 7 different critters

it will grow back. that happened to my CBS. after several days, i saw a a small piece sticking out and then I left my house. when I returned back, his full arm was back in full.

amazing....
 
Well, I just witnessed it myself. My crab molted and suddenly he has both of his arms again. :bounce:

Simply amazing! Here here Mother Nature. :Cheers:
