Do emerald crabs grow back legs??

[Kelly]

I found this emerald crab the other day literally. I turned over a rock, the
last one I bought about 2 months ago, and this emerald crab came walking
out. HUGE! Now today I noticed one of his front pincher (the whole leg) is
gone. I haven't seen my other emerald crab which was much smaller around so
I am thinking maybe they got in a fight? Anyways will the leg grow back? I
know that king crabs and snow crabs do but I have no idea about emerald
crabs.

thanks

The missing limbs usually come back after it molts.
