Porcelain crab molted??

[eveningstar15]

A few days ago my porcelain crab molted. Now he doesn't have either of his big claws. When I first saw his molt, big claws and all I thought he was died but then I noticed the back side was open and it was empty. Do they normally lose their claws when they molt? When his claws grow back?

They usually grow missing body parts BACK when they molt. I've not heard of them losing bits during a molt. If he's still eating, I wouldn't worry. Maybe he just had a rough time this go-round.
