6 legged larger starfish

[Redhdfishgirl]

Last night during a bout of insomnia, I found a puffy, 6 legged, gray and white starfish on our rocks. Its about a inch and a half wide minimum. I woud have thought it was a asterina but I thought they didn't get over a few cms in size. We have a sand sifting starfish in our 250 gallon tank and one orange sea serpent.
I tried taking photos in the morning but the minute I switched the lights on it disappeared. All I have are some HORRIBLE cell photos that I took.
Any ideas?
TIA

Its likely a Asterina Starfish, a pretty harmless algae munching starfish.

Very hard to tell due to the poor quality pics, but seems to be some type of linca. Need better pics for sure. Definitely not a asteria.
