Starfish ID please!!

i got some when i was in fla. a few years ago in Mexico Beach,they lived about a year in my tank.I never had a problem with them they would just stay in the sand untill I feed my fish then they would come out to feed. They were every good at keeping my sand stired up. I cant wait to go back to see if I can get some more.
 
Astropecten articulatus, very common in the Gulf of Mexico, southeast US, and Caribbean. It will eat whatever it comes across in the sand particularly molluscs.
