1. Introduction
In the framework of Riemannian geometry, Blair et al. [2] introduced a

In the last few decades there has been extensive study about Ricci solitons and *-Ricci solitons on manifolds. The notion of Ricci solitons was introduced by Hamilton as a natural generalization of Einstein metrics.
A Ricci soliton on a Riemannian manifold satisfies the following equation [8]
where
In 1959, Tachibana [21] introduced the notion of *-Ricci tensors on almost Hermitian manifolds. Later, Hamada [13] defined *-Ricci tensors of real hypersurfaces in non-flat complex space forms, and then Kaimakamis et al. [15] introduced the notion of *-Ricci solitons in non-flat complex space forms.
