Yo peeps! So my CB molted and now he has no arms... the long lobster claws. He's also missing a leg but has the all the small arms. Is he a goner or will he maybe get them back when he molts again? He looks soooooooo weird!

Also, hes pretty big...about 2 inches...I've had him for a year
 
Molts are difficult. I'd say if he can eat, it's 50/50.
 
They’ll grow back as long as he can survive eating with his small claws. He does not need to molt in order for him to regrow.
 
Coolio! Do you have any idea how long they live in captivity?
 
Both of mine in the pair lost both their arms during a move, regrew them by next molt
 
Can you have CB in one tank without fighting? I have a 36 gallon
