Note: This means very intelligent by crustacean standards. The things are still dumb as a doornail compared with most mammals and birds. Also they are technically hermit crabs, not true crabs.
Also, their claws are fucking hardcore. Be grateful they are as peaceful as they are.

Yes. It's edible. It's a delicacy in pacific regions. There's a chance a crab may become toxic depending on it's diet tho'. It's also considered an aphrodisiac.

Ah yes, the tried-and-true method of being able to sell even the most disgusting part of an animal.

"Those are dried bull testicles sir. They are a delicacy."

"Why in God's name would you eat such a horrid thing?"

"It makes your penis bigger."

Children sometimes play with coconut crabs by placing some wet grass at an angle on a palm tree that contains a coconut crab. When the animal climbs down, it believes the grass is the ground, releases its grip on the tree, and subsequently falls.

Or maybe it just eats the kids. I'm pretty sure that thing can outrun a fat kid next door.

To some extent. Those claws are designed to cut open coconuts. It would make short work of a wire-mesh cage, but I thin 2/3 inch steel bars should stop it.

It is still a peaceful herbivore/scavenger though. The main danger it poses is that it might inadverdently drop a coconut on your head.
