When I bought one of my eight red clawed crabs it had two legs and no claw on one side of its body. now it has lost a leg on that side. will he grow all his legs and his claw back? how long will it take and is there any way to speed the process up? what happens if he loses the final leg? I need advice quick - please someone answer!!!

Limbs are grown back when the crabs molt, (which i think is every 6-8 weeks or similar)
As long as the crab can continue to feed and doesn't get picked on theres a good chance it'll be ok.
