Cleaner Shrimp Question

I have had 2 cleaner shrimp in my tank for about 3 weeks now. When i first got them i noticed that one had a black speck on one of its legs at a joint. Since then i have noticed that that leg is missing. However, it looks as if it has grown back a bit, but is a very pale white color. Do these shrimp regrow legs? One molted the other night, will the leg get longer the more he molts?
He is eating fine and jumps at my hand when i clean the intakes on my power heads...water levels are normal.
