Hi Mark, probably a Pacific land hermit crab?

I didn't even know there were trees on the Galapagos, never mind that crabs would be climbing them! Dead interesting picture - love the eyes.

Like the way he's looking out of frame: good comp too helps this.

I might flip this so he's looking l to r (personal opinion though - and I know it'll look odd to you as you've got used to seeing it the other way now!!).

I just love little hermit crabs - they are also known as 'tree crabs'.
