You can leave them together.. just make sure to keep up on water changes, it will eventually grow back.

It will grow back with no problem. Are you sure that it was bitten. High ammonia will cause fins to wear away also. Check your levels unless you saw the other fish chasing him. Keep up on water changes and he will be fine.

Have you checked the ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite levels in the tank yet?
