I bought a new blue crayfish couple of days ago, I didn’t notice but when I brought it home, I noticed that the head left antenna is half size of the right antenna. Should I return this? Is this going to be a problem for crayfish?
My blue crayfish has one antenna short is it a problem?

It’ll grow back just fine. Nothing to worry about
Yes, they can regrow any limb.
I put one in with my ca cichlids and it lost a leg. It started to grow back after a while (until the cichlids ate him…).
I will add that you might not notice it come back. Depending on what it is kept with, the fish will continue to bite at its antennae and leave it short. It can survive without it, but would be an annoyance for finding food. Same thing may be seen on gouramis and catfish.
