coral banded lost his hands :(

[Diana]

So I isolated my coral banded shrimp in a 5 gallon just to see if it was picking on my BTA....

The 5 gallon is a quarentine tank with a small gold bar maroon clown. Its been 2 days and I woke up this morning and poor coral banded has lost his front claws

A molt gone wrong?

I wonder if the idodine levels arent right in that tank? I know its quite small. Ive read they can re-generate the claws.

Do you think it was the maroon clown? Should I set up a tank just for the coral banded and nurse him back to health?

He was so aggressive with the fish in my other tank I never thought the clown would dare come near him....
