what happens when a crab's claw falls off

[jduny]

just wondering cause my red legged crab lost his today

Nothing will happen. When it molts, a new claw will be there.

I agree with Larry. A new claw is coming.

Typically the new claw will be stunted and look funny on the first molt, but you'll see it. After the second molt it will appear more normal.

Is that with all crabs? I have 2 Emeralds.

 

[ccCapt]

Yes, any crab or shrimp that molts.
