Can Fiddler crabs catch and/or eat guppy or molly fry? I want them to have a nice treat in addition to their everyday crab pellets and occasional freeze-dried krill. And i have 6 female mollies that are always pregnant, so i can have a near constant supply of newborns for them if it will work. :)

they can, but its unlikely i had dropped a few of my mollie fry in for my fc but now i have grown up brackish water mollies :s they only managed to catch 1 of the babies before they got bigger.

try crickets they like them better i find

I believe if they can catch it they will eat it.
They are scavengers so at least they will try. I don't know how fast mollies are though but scavengers are pretty creative and funny when they try to catch food. I bought 10 ghost shrimp for my crayfish and in two months he's knocked the population down to one.. So hopefully it goes the same for your crab.
