no no dont worry!!hes just molting!!!he didn't actually lsoe a leg hes shedding his old shell and growing a new one, becuase hes growing! I was really scared when my crab molted!every single claw, leg, and eye stalk came off! eww! but dont worry k? but buy him some new shells or else he will die, because when crabs grow, the constantly need bigger shells, and if they dont get bigger shells, or without a shell, they will die.
