Default Shrimp question

Hi I was wondering, I bought some shrimp the other day and one is missing some legs. Does anyone know if they'll grow back? Thanks Laurie

Sometimes it takes a few molts before the leg regains it's original full size. After one molt, you might see a "mini-leg". This is particularly true if a major claw is lost.
