I also have one of these, certainly an interesting critter. Mine is getting rather large now so through the reasoning of paranoia will likely be living in the sump soon.
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

No puffers with him, but some small fish. I don't trust crabs when they approach full size

By large, how big do you mean like compared to something else? Mine is in a shell about the size of a ping pong ball
