Coral banded Shrimp lost a limb.

Some how in transport from my LFS to home one of its mine claw arms "fell" off. No idea how but he's alive and doing well. Just wondering if they have a ability to grow them back?
 
no problem, good luck with him...i really love banded coral shrimps but have never been able to get one, im thinking its about time!
 
Don't know if yours regenerated its limb already, but mine actually lost BOTH of its claws at the same time after getting tangled in the net when I moved tanks. I felt so bad because he looked so defenseless like a regular shrimp and would just hide behind the rock. But yesterday, just over two weeks after the accident, he emerged from the rock with two new claws! They're a bit smaller than before I think, but for them to come back that quick was amazing nonetheless. I really don't know where they came from since they're pretty big relative to the rest of its body. I wish I had before and after pictures. FWIW, I'd been dosing a little extra iodine as I'd read it promotes the molting process.
