when I kept dwarf crayfish with Taiwan red claw crabs
eventually the crayfish would tear limbs off the crabs.
crabs can be very stubborn and then hold their ground,
while crayfish will break anything standing in their path.
since fiddlers are more aggressive than Taiwan, it's hard
to say what will happen, so your results may vary. as
was posted earlier, the more hiding and climbing spots
for them to avoid each other, the better.

while some might consider this inhuman, a trick I used
to keep crayfish from harming crabs was to use a nail
clipper to cut the thumb on the crayfish cheliped in half.
this does not hurt, or interfere with molting, it will grow
back 2 molts later, and does not interfere with feeding.
the benefit is the crayfish can't grip his opponents well,
thus reducing the chance of them harming each other.

Yes, I still have some of them. I have never kept fiddler crabs so I wouldn't know. Marbles are more gentle then other crays as long as there are enough places to hide. They are also small right now so they would not harm the crabs. But I am not so sure about when they get bigger.
