Need Help with my Coral Banded Shrimp

[bubblepuffer]

Hi, I got a huge Coral Banded Shrimp that is around 3" long for the body and always fighting with my Sleeper Goby and now both of the big craw of the Shrimp is gone.. I think they broke off from the body..will those Craws grow back? First it was 1 big craw gone then few weeks after that, he is molting and no new craw grow back...now both craws are gone..

Think they broke off? It's possible, and they should grow back. Unfortunately that puffer might have just ate them off.

Not the puffer for sure.. everything in the tank afraid of the shrimp except the Goby. The Baby Puffer just a chicken and always harrasted by the Shrimp, that I end up need to help out.. The Shrimp just clipped on the puffer tail and mouth couple of time and the puffer shake like crazy and hidding in the cave, so far only Goby will fight back. Saw them fighting couple of time when the Shrimp picked on the Goby and the Goby just bite back

That's because the shrimp knows the puffer will eventually eat it when it gets larger!
