I tried two that died after about a week when I had smaller tanks, a 33gal and a 50gal. Each of them was eating frequently and looked well right up until the moment that they died. My third CBB is over 3 years old in my 120gal (240gal system) and eats a wide variety of naturally occurring foods as well as mysis and grocery store clam up to 3 times a day. So I second Greg's recommendation for a large mature system without competing fish.

I use an introduction tank inside my DT.

I couldn't keep a blue throat trigger at all. Quarantine them but as soon as they went into the display they died within a week. Stress of being around other fish and being picked on.

So I bought a reptile tank, cut slots into it, and put it inside the DT. Fed the new fish in the introduction tank and let the other fish get used to him. So far 100% success rate with 3 fishes including a Powder Brown that my Yellow Tang usually hates.
