The primer (link above) will tell you all you need to know.
But, in a nutshell, they are very poor shippers and there is some thought that a majority come in with intestinal worms. They also don't always acclimate well even from one tank to another. However, once acclimated, they tend to be reasonably hardy, from what I understand. They rarely have any issues eating mysis or other frozen food, though they do also hunt pods all day long so they need an established tank. They're also rather passive, so probably won't fare well with more aggressive tank mates.

^This, although male and transitioning females can be pretty aggressive toward congenerics.
I have kept leopard wrasses for quite a while. A couple of years ago, I had a female bipartus transition to male and was killed by an existing male leopard of a different species. However the female bipartus existed well for about three years with no issues before transition.
