My crayfish has regenerated a lost claw after molting.
It takes time to match the old one, but it happens.

Yes, but it must be healthy. Scientists are trying to find out how they did that.
By the way tell you some jokes:
-Doctor! I have a serious problem, I can never remember what i just said.
-When did you first notice this problem?
-What problem?
One more joke:
A guy calls his vet and says "What should I do with my cat?Vet says "What do you mean? Guy says "I had a leak in my lawnmowers gas tank and the cat drank the gas. Then the cat began to run around and around the yard, climbed a tree. then fell out of the tree stiff. Vet says "Is the cat dead? Guy replies "nope he ran out of gas.
Last of all just want to tell you that whatever you do, just don't give up. Also you must love and care for the people around you. In that way they will also show you the love that you show to them. Just be yourself and happy everyday. Wish you all the best and good luck!!

Yep, no problem.
You have to wait for him to molt. That is, shed his skin. They do it once or twice a year.
Get a book about crayfish from the library. There is so much you need to know.
Cheers.

Yes, but the new claw will be smaller, it can take several molts for it to grow back to the proper size.

Yes they can, most invertebrates can even some vertebrates: lizards can regenerate tails and amphibians can generally regenerate most limbs.

It can though it will take about 3 - 4 weeks or so.
