How would you prepair a coconut shell?

I just got a coconut to put in my tank(after I open it etc.) What do I have to do cleaning wise? Should I take every one of the little straws off? Boil it?

Been thinking of a coconut myself, but haven't yet tried it. Was discussed here (which also leads to another thread):
