| Cabbage Leather  | Limbless Mr. Bojangles Mr. Bojangles is my loving Coral Banded Shrimp, i have had him for a while. Recently(1 week ago) i caught my tang picking on poor Mr. Bojangles... My tang ripped one arm off and most of his legs... I put him in me Fuge for a while, He then dropped his other arm/claw on his own so i didnt know if that was a sign of future molting... untill recently i switched him over to my nano tank to keep even closer watch of him. He is still alive but i catch him on his back and side all the time because all he has are his back fins to propel him backwards, and half of one of his many legs... Im so worried that if he doesnt molt soon he will starve and die!  Anything anyone can help me out with, i want him to molt but if he doesnt eat he wont grow... thus making him stuck at a stand still... My tang pisses me off so much sometimes...   Thanks in Advance, Lix (These are the best pics i could get without taking him out of water. Didnt want to stress him out by doing that)

| Frequent lurker  | Re: Limbless Mr. Bojangles There is a good chance you can survive, if he can eat. You will probably need to target feed so that he can easily get the food.
