Claw came off when blue crayfish shed his shell.

This seems weird but my crayfish has no claws. He shed his shell and his claws are with his shed. He is alive and eating but has no claws! This does not seem right? The fish don't pick on him at all.

Get yourself a bottle of invert iodine. Crays need the iodine to facilitate their molts. A calcium supplement will also help. Crays will eat their molts to replenish lost calcium. But, since they molt due to growth, additional calcium is needed.

Thanks Oddball! I see he does have a little claw but it seems strange. I will take your advice and apply it ASAP.
