My coral shrimp

Last I saw him he was fine. Today i noticed one of his claws sitting on the rock i thought maybe he was just molting. but, he is actually missing both of claws. What does this mean?

 

Hi mustanggirl412
it means possibly he has come of second best in a fight with something and will continue to do so, until his claws grow back . which they will do, in future molts, providing off course there is nothing in your tank thats targeting it as a meal

what else you got in there with it?

I dont have anything in my tank that would have ripped my shrimps claws off.

 

do you here any clicking noises at night time comig from your tank?
you may have a stowaway/ hitchhiker in there that you did not purchase, came in with the rock/' corals
