Can I keep a figure 8 puffer in a tank with fiddler and red-claw crabs?

Yes you can. I had my F8 with 2 red claw crabs. When I first introduced the crabs he would check them out and try to nip at them. I had a piece of drift wood that let the crabs out of the water. They ended up spending a lot of time there or in the filter. When one of the crabs died from trying to explore the world out side of the tank (he dried out) I tossed him back in and my F8 watched him for a couple of minutes then ripped him apart.

Sooo....I would have to say yes as long as the crabs can hide from the fish, and it's not dead.

Oh the other crab is still alive and they've lived together now for about 2 years.
