Default Banded coral shrimp

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.

I have had the fortune of my coral shrimp being around for more than 2

years.When he arrived i had the exact same problem * had lost both his
front main claws.Both replaced with moulting .Today his main feelers are
more than 3 inches long & a terror in the tank
