Why crabs has one big arm some times left and some times right?
Crabs can regenerate lost limbs, so a new one is smaller than an old one. The fiddler crab also has one claw bigger than the other - if the large claw is lost, the smaller one grows larger and the replacement claw becomes the smaller claw in some species.
Your hermit crabs lost an arm?

asexual
Can crabs regenerate missing claws?
Yes, crabs can regrow a limb that they have lost or that they have dropped. What happens is that they grow a small gel limb and when they go down to molt, the leg is regenerated. Regular legs can usually be regrown in one molt, the pinchers take two and sometimes three molts for the limb to reach the appropriate size.
What are examples of regeneration?
A lobster growing back it's claw A starfish growing back a lost arm

What if a hermetcrabs little pincher came off but still moving?
Its claw will regrow eventually. The lost claw is still moving because nerves are firing randomly without a connection to the brain, but this will stop shortly.
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.
