Claws grow back. Needs a molt though.

IME, arrow crabs are bad news. Once they get to a certain size, the can and will go after your fish. Beware!

Maybe give it some shrimp tail tips for raw material to produce its new shell. I think iodine is also supposed to be needed for good molts (at least with shrimp it is). If the crab survives till the next molt, it'll be fine.
