depends on your puffer. maybe yes, maybe no. most likely yes, but my GSP lives with three hermits and has for a while.
it's up to you if you wanna risk it.

Just don't buy expensive ones. Worst case they provide the puffer with a little entertainment (or best case?) and you're out a few bucks.

I had a huge red hairy one that lasted several months with my 2 adult GSPs. It was mean! Every time I'd go near tank, he'd climb up to the highest rock & shake his big claw at me! Eventually he was eaten...

I wish my puffers would eat hermit crabs, I dropped some ghost shrimp in the tank months ago and now I notice that they are breeding! Lazy fish...

I had a tennis ball sized hermit in with a 7" Porcupine puffer for months. The puffer wanted to eat the crab, but he was just too big. I ended up removing the crab after watching him wipe out some polyps.
