Very, very few success stories. Doofus is a major exception and not the rule. Very much the ick-magnet. If its the only tang in the tank, your chances are increased.

There is an Achilles primer on Reef Central you should read. Most success seems to be with bigger specimens and tanks in the 300g range.

I had mine for a little over six years but it should have lasted at least 3 times that long.
I had troubles for the first year with repeated hypo treatments for ick and finally used copper and never had that problem again. When it did die, I had no warning signs and never did find why it died.
