No, it is not dead. Hermit crabs can grow back their "arms" over time, though claws missing can be harder to live without. Just make sure you give lots of new shells so they can molt (which is when the arm is grown back). Don't worry-this happened to my herm!

My hermit crab has lost both of its claws what can you do?
Both claws gone- Hermit crabs use the big claw as a shield, a hand, and a weapon, the smaller shell is normally used for drinking water. It will be able to eat powdery or wet food with the small claw, but won't be able to defend itself, so it will be kind of skittish and scared. The claw will only grow back the next time it molts, which if she is small, will most likely be within a few months. If both claws are gone, crab will be able to pick up small bits of food with it's chelipods (mouth parts), continue to offer very small and soft foods.
