Banded coral shrimp

[Scott K.]

I have a banded coral that somehow lost a leg in the shipping bag. I was
just wondering if shrimp have the ability to regenerate lost appendages.
Anybody know?

TIA,

Scott

I know they will replace lost arms, so I would assume a leg would come back
after the next molt episode.
