View of Coconut Crab exhibit

And it looks like a pretty s***ty enclosure for one too.
 
This wasn't at the collection when I visited recently, so I am only guessing, but I don't think this is an enclosure for coconut crab at all; I think it is an exhibit with signage talking about coconut crabs, with a giant crab model containing a smaller model of a coconut tree.

I dunno, the interior looks really similar to what can be seen in this other 2011 photo from zoogiraffe...

 
I think it's an enclosure for a small specimen. Sea Life Centres' 'Claws' exhibit which features at a few of their aquaria often has an enclosure or two which are themed like this one.
 
Fair enough :) must be a pretty small individual then!
 
It looks like the crab is in the bottom left of the main picture.
 
if you think this is a crappy little tank for a crab, look at this one in the same exhibition:

here's another photo taken by Javan Rhino a couple of months before zoogiraffe's one, showing the crab in relation to the tank interior:
