I think there's something about iodine and crustaceans, but not sure.

I can definitely look into that as well. Thank you

 

[TommyD1]

Not much left of him is there!?

Not at all. We call him Black Knight from Monte Python ‍‍

Most fascinating! Thank you! Gives me definite faith

 

[TommyD1]

It may be another fish it’s trying to eat it and it’s has lost limbs , just keep an eye on it

Noted. We have separated now. He’s been alone since even before he started shedding legs. But, doesn’t mean it couldn’t be a bacteria or feel threatened, still. Thank you!

 

[TommyD1]

Anything in the tank that might consider crab a delicacy?

He’s been alone for a long while now. I updated better information in other comments as well. Thank you for your response

Sometimes they/crustatians molt due to stress, may of been mentioned in previous messages.. not necessarily growth
