Porcelain crab molted??

[eveningstar15]

A few days ago my porcelain crab molted. Now he doesn't have either of his big claws. When I first saw his molt, big claws and all I thought he was died but then I noticed the back side was open and it was empty. Do they normally lose their claws when they molt? When his claws grow back?

There is a good chance it will return with future molts. Make sure your water chemistry is in order, as in you are doing some routine water changes to replenish trace elements and removing DOC.
