Lost a claw

Hi all,
I've had a cbs in quarantine for the last 6 weeks and was about to introduce him into my DT when he got into a tangle with the base of the powerhead in the QT and ended up ripping one of his claw arms off. So my question is, shall I wait for his arm to grow back before introducing him to the DT, or will he be ok going in with one claw-arm?

cheers

ps... how long will it take to grow back?

Invertebrate like crabs shrimps or lobsters always grow a new claw after they molt. . .You may want to leave him in the qt for a little longer to see if he is really healthy because sometimes those injuries can be fatal but nt usually.

As stated, the claw should regenerate when the crab molts. Could be a couple of weeks or a couple months.
