Does stone crab claws grow back?
Chef's answer
Once a stone crab loses a claw or other appendage it takes several molts to fully regenerate the lost appendage or claw (Figure 8). Each time a crab molts it has the ability to regenerate the lost appendage. ... After three molts (three years in adult crabs) a claw can regain 95 percent of its original size..
