Boxer Crab With A Missing Arm

[zeo]

Hi,

I received my boxer today from TF4U, but noticed that it only has one arm.

Will it ever grow this arm back? if so any ideas on when?

by boxer do you mean a banded coral srimp if so one of ours lost a claw and it grew back
not sure how long cos its very elusive and dont see it often but it came back...

nope not shrimp. but a crab. I think its also known as a pom pom crab, aswell as an anemone crab.

could it have just lost the anenome from the arm? if so it will split the existing one into two. if its the whole arm it should grow back with the next molt.
