Hi,
I'm a long time reader, but I haven't posted much. I try to do as much of my own homework before bugging people but tonight I have a question that I can't find an answer too.
I've had a Purple Reef Lobster (Enoplometopus) aka Debelius' Reef Lobster for about a year now. He's very cool and his name is Dr. Zoidberg. He's peaceful for the most part, might have taken out a crab or two, but other then that a swell pet I like a lot.
Today I came home and noticed that one of his claws was missing. He had molted several times in the last year, but this time his claw is completely gone! I found just outside his cave and could see the meat still inside (unlike molting).
How did he lose his arm? The only thing that *might* have taken it off would be a blue legged hermit crab, but that sounds improbable (they seemed to be good friends!). The only explanation I can think of it either he cut it off himself or it feel off naturally. Will it grow back?
Anyone seen anything like this?
