That's Christmas Island. The red crabs are, wait for it, Christmas Island Red Crabs and they migrate in masses every year - their numbers are dwindling though due to the introduced Yellow Crazy Ant and human encroachment.

The big crab is a coconut/robber crab - also common on Christmas Island.

Heyyy. As if my hackles weren't itchy enough from the pictures! XD

Man, that is one impressive beastie.

The little red crabs are so cute! I still want a Halloween crab for a pet.
