redcross Some shrimps queries!

Was feeding my shrimps just now and i noticed that one of them had broken 3 out of 6 legs..

Will they grow back? i know for claws of crab they will grow back but for legs of shrimp?

Anyone has any idea or encounter this before?

When the shrimp molt, u will see new small tiny legs, if your tank is small and your shrimps are under-fed, u may need to quarantine this poor shrimp.

Will grow back after they moulted. New shrimp? If so most probably it break it's legs during transportation.

Honestly, I have not experienced any loss of limps for my CRS previously. But Those feeder shrimps that I used to keep for my other fishes, don't seem to grow back. Maybe I didn't keep them long enough though.

Good luck
