Not really sure what went on during his molting. I've had this shrimp for over a year and half now and for some reason he lost portions of his antennas? LOL

He didn't lose the entire antenna just like 3/4s the length on 3 of them.

Being reclusive, he isn't acting like his normal self. Will they grow back?
 
Thats normal! After it loses its shell it looses at lease 3/4 of its antenna length but quickly grows them back in a few days. I had the same concern until I realize it kept happening.
 
Right on. It's the first time I've seen them shrink that far.
