Default Arrow Head Killer?

so low and behold as i was passing my tank i was like "What the!!!? so did my arrow head do this do you think, or did he just stumble into a meal.. and if so how do you suppose my CBS lost his claw, and will it grow back? i have no other crabs (except hermits) and besides him just "losing it) im not sure how this woulda happened.. usually when he molts the whole shell comes off, never just a claw

I would think the CBS lost it in a fight, thats not the shell, thats thes the whole arm. Arrow crabs are aggressive.

dang.. i figured as much.. i didnt know they were THAT aggressive! Is it that hes not getting enough food you think, or is that just his nature to attack like that? i wonder if the claw will grow back.. i cant believe that happened, i love my CBS, ill pull the arrow head if hes gonna continue his evil ways

CBS should regrow its claw
Arrow crabs are aggressive...and Coral Bandeds and Arrows shouldn't be housed together IMO.
