I bought what is apparantly a fiddler crab, he was doing quite well and I added a second. Today I noticed the original crab is now missing its very first leg/arm, the one opposing the leg/arm with the large claw. I assume that although I was told they'd be peaceful together something must've happened between the two of them. My question though is will that leg/arm grow back?

It's a slightly brackish setup, they live with a pair of mollies. They have a large rock and piece of wood they climb and rest on when they want to be out of the water.

They sure poop a lot
