Claws Came OFf !

[Maverick]

I was moving my 2 Coral Banded Shrimp from my QT tank to my new 75 and both claws came off one of them . Will they grow back or is he done for ?

Brent :sad:

Relax Brent - they do that (throw their claws) as a last-ditch defensive manoeuver. They should be back with the next molt.

Not to worry. :biggrin:

The bigger concern is doing a proper (long) acclimation when moving between tanks. They are very sensitive to changes in SG, and can be killed easily this way.

Both tanks are at 1.023 , but I'm taking my time with them. Will be at least 45 min before they go in the big tank.

Yah, it's pretty freaky the first time you see that happen..... :eek:

[AJ_77]

Maybe a person could dry the claws and use them in some sort of display frame...

:rolleyes:

you could arrange them on a Barbie BBQ perhaps.. :mrgreen:
