Also known as the robber crab or palm thief. On the subject of eating one...

The coconut crab is eaten by Southeast Asians and Pacific Islanders and is considered a delicacy  and an aphrodisiac, with a taste similar to lobster and crab meat. The most prized parts are the eggs inside the female coconut crab and the fat in the abdomen. Coconut crabs can be cooked like other large crustaceans, by boiling or steaming. Different islands also have a variety of recipes, as for example, coconut crab cooked in coconut milk. While the coconut crab itself is not innately poisonous, it may become so depending on its diet, and cases of coconut crab poisoning have occurred. It is believed that the poison comes from plant toxins, which would explain why some animals are poisonous and others not. However, coconut crabs are not a commercially significant species and are usually not sold.

Although watch out where you eat one - one some islands in the Indian Ocean, the species is protected and eating one will land you a fine for about £1,500.  :shock:

I think I'd be OK encountering one of those, actually. They're quite cute in a way. Although, I wouldn't want to get this close to one...
