How To Make Coconut Shell - Tank Safe

[Littlemonkey]

Last year my other half won a coconut. We cut it in half and had them hanging in the garden as bird feeders. I now want to use them as caves for the tank. Can you boil them? and what is the best way of removing the hairs. Thanks

Thanks, I wasn't sure if boiling them wouldn't make them too brittle. I'll give it a go this weekend.
