My coral banded shrimp got cought in my powerhead. Both of its bigger claws are gone, the little claws are still there. He is still alive but will it live or die any ideas?

I'm pretty sure the bigger claws are more for defense and moving larger objects for feeding.
In a controlled environment like your tank, he should be fine, in the ocean he would probably be a goner.
Does he have any competitors for food or other shrimp etc that would bother him? If not, no problem, if so, keep a watchful eye for a while.
