Do flippers grow back?
Hi all! I was wondering if Opae Ula had the ability to regenerate their flippers. I recently received my Opae Ula and I've had them in a temporary holding tank, and I soon realized that one of them was missing its left uropods (or flippers). I tried getting a good picture, but they sure do swim fast! I have a picture of the poor fella below.

They will probably come back with his next molt. He should do fine without them though

Okay, good to know. I'll hope for the best.
