Do turtles and fiddler crabs fight?
Most turtles will eat fiddler crabs. When I got my turtle he ate everything that moved (fish, fiddlers, and a snail) Recently though, he hasn't touched any of the fish and prefers to eat the turtle sticks and freeze-dried shrimp treats. I bought two fiddlers yesterday and they seem to be getting along just fine. If you buy a bunch you can use them as food and a cleaning crew. A nice little snack for the turt and a clean tank!

What is a substance in horseshoe crab shells that is used to make sutures and bandages?
Chitin is a modified polysaccharide (long-chain polymer of glucose) that comprises the shells of arthropods and is also found in fungi and amphibians, among other groups. The chitin is processed into chitosan, a substance with hypo-allergenic, anti-bacterial, and antimicrobial properties, particularly toward gram negative bacteria, such as E-coli and Vibriospecies.
Chitosan also has a positive charge, while our blood cells have a negative charge. Bandages made from chitosan will create a barrier to arterial blood flow to stop bleeding, and also promote healing up to 40% in wounds and burns. Chitosan bandages are saving lives and are now made from shrimp shells, typically a discarded by-product of shrimp processing.

Most crabs use their hard shell which is good for animals smaller than them that eat them. But I don't think the shell can protect them from a whale (whales don't eat crabs but thy might accidentally swallow one) or a shark.
What happens before the crab is caught in the dish called soft shelled crab?
A soft shell crab, often referred to as a softie, is a recently molted crab. Usually it's a Blue crab that is served as a soft shell dish. The crab will shed it's old shell when it has grown out of it. The new shell will be soft but only for a couple of days.

What does a winkle eat other than crabs?
Winkles or periwinkles don't usually eat crabs, they tend to graze on algae in the intertidal zone with their scraping mouthparts, but do sometimes eat small barnacle larvae. It would mostly be the other way around - crabs eating periwinkles. Both are somewhat opportunistic feeders and crabs are known to be omnivorous, as well as mollusks like the periwinkle will eat worms, other crustaceans, fungi, detritus, and also algae. Some crabs specialize, and some eat fish.
What are the structural adaptations of a crab?
Crabs are in the class crustaceans, which are in the phylum arthropoda. All arthropods have an exoskeleton, which for crabs, helps protect them from predators, support them when not in water, allows muscles to be attached to the shell, and can keep them from drying out when not in water. They have "claws" that help them manipulate their food. They also have 2 pairs of antennae for sensing.
