I have a small gold CBS that molted and lost one of his claws during the molt, he probably got picked on. Does anyone know if it will grow back. I heard only the legs grow back but not the claws?
 
Some species of crustacean do indeed lose the claw permanently but fortunately the CBS is not one of them. The main claw should regrow at the next molt although smaller at first. Which each subsequent molt the claw will regain it's normal size.

Cheers
Steve
