Worlds largest land invert! In fact if it got any bigger they would implode under their own weight. They are called Coconut Crabs because they can also crack a coconut with their claws, so use plastic or wooden enclosures rather then glass. Keep like hermit crabs just on a larger scale. Deep substrate so they can moult (4 parts coir / 1 part sand). Lots of cork bark tubes as they love to climb. Fresh water and salt water (Marine salt) so they can bathe. Scavengers so easy to feed. Currently feeding on Rephasy Crab Diet, Dried Shrimp, Banana and Panini’s.
