Definitely check the species on "blue crays". Two of the commonly sold "blue" crayfish come with issues:
Cherax quads- Okay for some community tanks, but reach very large sizes and require much larger tanks than the average crayfish.
Procambarus alleni- Okay for almost all sized tanks, but highly aggressive and very carnivorous. Most will actively hunt tankmates (not all, but a lot will).
They both look wicked though, that's for sure! ^_^
(Where in NY are you? There's a few interesting species up there, just depends on the area.)

and would a cray be ok ina 10gal with 2 tri-colors
Rule out most Aussie species, they'll get too large for a 10gal. Some Indos and almost all NA species should be okay in a 10gal. Just one crayfish, though. Unless you're getting dwarf species, it'll be too overcrowded with more than 1. And careful with the Tri Colors, it'll be less room for them to escape/avoid/etc the crayfish if you end up with an aggressive species (or just a hungry crayfish).
