You really don't need to; you'll just end up cooking it so much it rots and falls apart.

Pouring boiling wate over things and then leaving them to dry completly is all most things going into your tank need.

I put it in but it broke and the current of the tank made it fall apart so I put it in my betta tank

And can I use adhesive in the tank or is it harmful to the fish

And it's adhesive ment for boats it doesn't fall apart in water and it lasts

If you boil veg to death, it goes mushy. Same thing has happened to your shell.

As FM said, boiling coconut shell, or any other type of wood for you tank for long periods, will just make it disintegrate.

For most wood ornaments - Pour over boiling water, give it a scrub with a stiff nail brush, pour more water over to wash the c rap off, and your done.
