Give it a molt or 2, and they will grow back. When I got my Sally, it was missing a leg. One molt and it had the whole thing back again.

I'm kinda curious on this one as well - I had a sally for a few months, which one day lost 4 legs. The next day it had no front pincers, and the next day it was dead. I have yet to find out what happened to the poor thing.

one of your fish might be attacking it, I know I made the horrible mistake of putting one in a tank with a pufferfish (i know i know!! i feel really bad trust me) and they will molt the legs back, but if something is picking on it then in the long run it will likely not make it.
