While trying to move an emerald crab to a different tank, I tried to pushed him off the rock with forceps. In the process, I accidentally hit his claw pretty hard against the rock. When I finally got him moved, I looked closer and saw that his claw seems to be dislocated and he keeps grabbing at it with his other claw. I feel bad.
Any chance a molt fixes that?

Bump.
I feel terrible about injuring this little guy. It looks like he's not able to close the injured claw.
