On our second day on the Galapagos we spent the day on the Island of Isebela. We got to see many of the islands animals, the red crabs being just a few.
With a little research online I found out that the scientific name of these red crabs is Grapsus Grapsus, and that they are also referred to as "Red Rock Crabs" or "Sally Lightfoot Crabs." These crabs have the incredible ability to walk on water, jump from rock to rock and can climb up vertically.

Weren't you freaked out by the crabs? They seem a little bit like giant spiders.
