I bought a second Coral Banded shrimp for my nano. Was disappointed I never got to see the one I recently put in main tank. It lost a arm (large one) on way home and transfer to tank.

Have been fretting about it. Do they really grow back that fast?

Surprising they come off so easy.

When catching stone crab...one leg is pulled off and animal is tossed back in water to grow another. Guess it works same way for shrimp.
