Coconut crabs can be great when they are in the small exhibits or something else, like these and they can climb trees to get the coconuts off to feed on.

That sounds extremely disgusting. Thanks for getting that imaginative image stuck in my head
I also did not know that this crab species existed (Probably because I'm 12) Would be nice to see them in Planet Zoo
I would also love to see coconut crabs in Planet Zoo. Found out there is one (called Kenny) at San Diego Zoo whose favourite food is popcorn and is given mirrors as enrichment, which is possibly one of the cutest things ever.
This is the care sheet for the coconut crab made by San Diego Zoo.

If I recall, coconut crabs are the largest fully terrestial land crabs on earth. They love to climb trees and can crack coconuts with their large claws, hence the name.
