Cleaner shrimp injury

Hmm, seems that a piece of the antenna is missing. It's one of the
antenna that tend to hang behind him. I dont know how, but maybe he got
too close to the Fire Shrimp... but I think the Tang had something to
do with it.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

Anyway, I'm sure this happens a lot in the wild, so I'm not worried. I
am however curious if it grows back. I know that claws grow back on
some crabs. So is it the same with antenna's?#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

I would think that it'll be fine. The molts I've seen from my cleaner shrimp have pretty long antenna on them. It might take a molt or two, but I wouldn't worry about it.
