8 Legged crayfish...

[The Zigman]

So I nabbed a free cray from petsmart today, and he's missing 2 legs..
he's got all 5 on his drivers side, but the passenger side is 2 legs short.

Wonder if they will grow back?

[msjinkzd]

yup, should next molt

[BioHazard]

Wouldn't it be nice to be an arthropod? "Oops, lost a leg. Oh well!"

Not quite in circles, but you can tell he's not having fun...

He was in a feeder tank, getting picked on by 100 goldfish..

Its a feeder cray that happened to walk into the feeder comet tanks at the farm. Happen quite often actually. I believe they are called "Red Lobsters".

Update on the 8 legger...

He's grown quite a bit, and once again has 10 legs.

Anyone know what species it is for sure?

its claws have a blueish tint to them that you cant see in the pix.

[The Zigman]
