Default Coconut crabs and halloween crabs

Well looking at simons thread about his rainbow crab I looked at other crabs I saw these two and they're both gorgeous but i guess you can't keep coconut crabs because they get too big i mean they live for ages supposedly. So any help here or will I have to venture somewhere to find info?

Can you even get coconut/robber crabs in the hobby? That would be extremely fun, but i'd imagine you'd need an EXTREMELY robust enclosure due to their utterly ridiculous levels of strength.

You'd have to have it free range in the house lol

That would be pretty amazing.

Mrs: I haven't seen the kids for hours, where are they?
Me: Mr Krabs has them muhahahaha No seriously they're cowering in the corner, I think he's hungry.

I've seen Coco Crabs for sale in Germany before, but they cost several hundred Euros. I bet they would need a huge marine water section in their enclosures. And just imagine how many tubs of peanut butter these guys can pile through...
