Coral bandid lost arms

[Erink]

Yo peeps! So my CB molted and now he has no arms... the long lobster claws. He's also missing a leg but has the all the small arms. Is he a goner or will he maybe get them back when he molts again? He looks soooooooo weird!

Also, hes pretty big...about 2 inches...I've had him for a year

Molts are difficult. I'd say if he can eat, it's 50/50.

They’ll grow back as long as he can survive eating with his small claws. He does not need to molt in order for him to regrow.

 

[Erink]

Coolio! Do you have any idea how long they live in captivity?

 

[Kremis]

Both of mine in the pair lost both their arms during a move, regrew them by next molt

Can you have CB in one tank without fighting? I have a 36 gallon
