are you sure they fell off? He might have just shedded his skin.

If they have fallen off, they will grow back given time and good water conditions

had this happen to my guy once when moving him last year, its their utmost defense mechanism-
he'll be fine, it took mine about a week to molt again, but remarkably after one molt he had 1" pinchers and the next day the were full grown!
i felt horrible for causing him so much stress- but again his healing was also one of the most fascinating things to watch-
it shows how quick, adaptable, defensive and smart saltwater critters are.
and now its a good story...'remember when heather made the shrimp shoot off his arms and they grew back in 2 days!'
wow
