Which sea star is this?

What sea star is this? My lfs called it a orange linckia sea star. I think it is a Echinaster sp. Orange sea star..like the one on live aquaria.

It could also be an Ophiaster or something else. Can you take some close up shots of the whole animal & the arms?

Do you want a picture of its underside?..I can't get another picture of the top all I can do is zoom in on the picture. It is on the front glass right now. Its not a slow moving sea star just not as fast as a brittle or serpent. Nevermind I can't even get a good picture of its underside..its on the front left corner of the tank.
So here is a zoomed in picture.
