I know 100% that the Blue Linkia can regenerate any and all limbs, I would assume the Orange as well.

i had an orange linkia that got stuck in the power head and ripped 2 arms off it took about 9 months to grow back. if you have really good water quility and lots of food it should be ok

Yes, it can grow back DEPENDING on why it lost the arm and the overall suitability of the tank. So that depends on water quality, amount of LR and parameters. How long have you had it and what are your tank conditions?
