If it's a static IP then it does not have to reach out for dhcp. If there have not been any connection to it inside the arp expire time it will not show.
If you ping it from the firewall it will show again in the tabel.

You can add that as a static dhcp lease even if it's not using dhcp so pfSense knows about it.
If you have Unbound resolving static leases you can use it's hostname dircetly.
