Found my coral banded shrimp with it's arm inside my blower. Turned it off and got him out but he appears to be missing two of his smaller arms on his right side. Now I'm afraid to turn the blower back on in case it happens again. Shrimp seems fine for now. Havnt had him long. Stupid shrimp.
 
Yup, they should regrow. My Scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp liked to hang out on my powerhead when it was off. It learned its lesson! Hey, problem solved. He does not go near it now.
