there is kind of a hole. Of you can't see it I will highlight it
there used to be blood or something 1 or 2 months ago. I'm not too worried but I know that he did hurt himself because he didn't have the mark when I got him. Should I leave it alone or treat it some way? Thanks!

What did this "blood" look like? I just did some research and their blood clots instantly when it hits the air so you should never have seen it. It is also blue or clear since there is no hemoglobin in it like ours.

The pic is way too blurry to see what you circled.

I think the mark might be the whitish ">" shape in the top pic in the area they circled.... I think...

I'm with Kelly, there isn't enough detail to make out if there is damage, or if it's just the normal joint. There will be a good divot there since the top pincher is what moves and there is a huge joint in that location.
I don't know if these photos of what a normal claw looks like will help?

Thank you for replying I was extremely confused if it was normal or an injury.

You're welcome.
I just moved an iso crab to the main tank and her claw was the same.
