It's my wife's favourite fish (along with Porcupine puffer, Bannerfish, and Jellyfish) so I gave it one last try & I've had it almost a month and its doing really well in a well-stocked (mostly lps) seahorse refugium tank where it is the biggest fish. I now have specimens of all four of Irene's favourite fish, so she's happy about that.
But yeah, not a great survival rate & I think they are more likely to much on clams (since that's what some people feed them to keep alive - manila clams from the supermarket).

Must be one of the smaller guys from JL a while ago.
I got one too, by far the best and most promising of my three attempts at this fish...
I keep moving rocks from the back sump compartment in my aquapod which is rich in aiptasia and fanworms into my 95 gallon..
my CBB is eating frozen voraciously, but I just don't want to lose a 4th of these sexy fish...
