Bad molt ? unable to grab food.

[Zero Oxygen]

Hi all,

recently my peacock mantis shrimp had a bad molt.
It lost one of its club appendages and it seems that the 3rd to 5th legs are not molt properly too.
Its 3rd to 5th legs that are use for grab food, doesnt seem to have the strenght to grab anything.
It has not been eating for about 5 days. The food are left infront, and it doesnt seem to realise it unlike the usual attentive behaviour.

the color of it shell seem faded, now a tint of blue instead of green.......

can anyone advise.......

Highly unlikely that it will recover. It can regenerate the missing raptorial appendage, but when most of the maxillipeds are messed up, the prognosis is poor.

i would think that flake food would be your best bet for food, light and it could pick it up, i maybe be wrong, probly am Just a thought
