Butterflyfish

Curious if time has changed the ability to keep these butterflyfish that were once said to avoid .
Has anyone been successful in keeping them long term

I’ve kept rainsfords and octofasciatus, tough but not possible. Matt Pederesen at Coral magazine had some success with trifasciatus / lunula but I don’t recall the details. I still avoid meyers and ornatissumus like the plague.
