I had one in the past that didn't last too long maybe a couple months after that I was discouraged to ever get one, a few people here have kept some for no longer than six months..... I spoke to a guy that owns 3 and he has them doing well the longest one for 3 years. When asked what kept them alive he said he fed them pellets I laughed at first then asked him if he was serious and yes he was. I decided to try my luck again this time buying a nice one to put in my new set up I have had it for 2 weeks now. I feed it small pieces of tiger prawns which he took gladly. I will continue to feed it every week but any opinions you have I am all ears thanks.

Yes I fed it, indirectly it got scraps daily when the fish were fed and directly every couple days I would give it a chunk of frozen brine ship or formula frozen cubes, it did very well and grew substantially in the time I had it but it died not long after my magnificant anenome died (another long time resident) I never did figure out what caused it's demise and no other inhabitants were affected, I have tried two since and lost both within 6 months, it must be where they collect them from now as I have not heard many success stories, when I bought my original (15 years ago) I am sure they came from different locations than the ones we are seeing today.
