Can stomatopods regenerate a lost eye? I know of an O. scyllarus that only has one eye for a pretty good price. I was just curious if the eye will grow back, although I doubt it. This could also be a heads up for anyone in the So Cal area that's looking for a peacock.

No, they can't. Often an appendage similar to an antennule will develop in its place. We don't know if the "antennule is functional, but it can move and has neural connections with brain.
