If he's like any other crab he will eventually molt and will grow a new claw then. I wouldn't worry.

I would agree with everyone so far, as it makes sense.

HOWEVER, I had a one armed arrow crab for 6 months...who never grew the other arm back. The problem is, I never found a molt shell, so I have no idea whether this is because he never molted...or if this species doesn't regenerate. I have no clue.

I would think everyone's right. But my experience didn't show that.
