Follow-up question to my post here (clicky): Will a cleaner shrimp grow new legs and/or claws the way a starfish will grow new feet or legs when severed?
 
Yes I believe they will as I know crabs grow their claws back so thinking same as shrimp. Especially when they molt.
 
Good question, I know crayfish and lobsters grow back their front claws (chelipeds). Not sure about shrimp tho
 
Just wanted to follow up on this to confirm that a shrimp will in fact grow new legs and antennae. My little guy molted and he's nearly back to 100% after a week or so in an acclimation box. I'll add a couple photos later.
