They are not easy unless you could find one that is already eating. To keep one long term, either you have a healthy one to begin with or you'll want to have a good QT system and routine. Ick isn't the biggest thing with them but you do want to properly deworm it and make sure it's got no flukes or other issues.

Most of the lfs mix all their incoming fish which further complicates things. I have not seen a blue star at a lfs myself but do have luck with a couple leopard wrasses from J&L in BC. I am 2 out of 4 when it comes to leopards and all 4 fish went through 6 weeks of QT with a dish of sand to sleep. 2 died a couple of months later stopped eating frozen and the other two been doing well over 9 months.

I wish you luck with your search.
