Hey just had the exact same thing happen to Lilly , shes spinning round in circles like a dog chasing its tail , trying to get the dead claw off ! , Fairplay that crab had a go back ! , think it just enraged her though as he was quickly ripped and crunched to pieces ....Shes bitten off most the arm , but the actual pincer is still stuck to her face , do you think i should let nature do its thing and let it come off by her knocking it off etc or should i intervene and try getting it off ???
pics to follow

Re: Crab fought back
I never had this problem when feeding my arrowhead, it attacks it so quick it's in bits after one bite , or if he is been lazy the crab will walk near and he will pounce out the sand and again it ends up in bits very quick.
