Some of the Coconut crabs are blue, rather than orange. My research suggests that this is similar to human's with hair colour. It's a variation that has nothing to do with gender, age, or species.
This crab looks like it is carrying eggs.

Wow!
I never saw a blue crab!
How interesting!
Pretty blue! But are they good to eat or what? Do the locals eat any of the crabs or is that not allowed?
Hi Angelika. The blue coconut crabs are certainly unusual and beautiful.
Hi Janni. Coconut crabs are protected. Apparently they are very good eating, but on other islands have been wiped out. They are slow to breed and slow to grow.
