Mine just died 3 weeks ago well, only I had had it for 6 years. I think it may have picked up a parasite or disease when I introduced some new fish earlier this year. I had it in my 120gal, earlier attempts at keeping them in smaller, less mature systems failed within weeks.

If you just wanted a butterfly because they're pretty there are lots of others to choose from that are easier. If you wanted one for pest control there are easier although less reef safe species to choose from as well.
