    so low and behold as i was passing my tank i was like "What the!!!? so did my arrow head do this do you think, or did he just stumble into a meal.. and if so how do you suppose my CBS lost his claw, and will it grow back? i have no other crabs (except hermits) and besides him just "losing it) im not sure how this woulda happened.. usually when he molts the whole shell comes off, never just a claw

    I would think the CBS lost it in a fight, thats not the shell, thats thes the whole arm. Arrow crabs are aggressive.

    dang.. i figured as much.. i didnt know they were THAT aggressive! Is it that hes not getting enough food you think, or is that just his nature to attack like that? i wonder if the claw will grow back.. i cant believe that happened, i love my CBS, ill pull the arrow head if hes gonna continue his evil ways :(

    CBS should regrow its claw
    Arrow crabs are aggressive...and Coral Bandeds and Arrows shouldn't be housed together IMO.
