White Sea star

[Menace2Sobriety]

Wondering if I could get an ID. It's a hitchhiker and I don't think it's asternia as it's over an inch in diameter.

Thx

Sorry. Can only add 1 pic per post with iphone

Here's another pic. It's arms are slightly jagged on the edge. Color is white with sandy colored specs.

Blurry but kinda shows the color.

That´s a Asterina sp.

It looks just like an Asterina to me, but I've never seen one an inch across.

 

[Calappidae]

There are quite a few described species which none of us can tell appart. Most likely this is one of them. I've seen some of mine nearing that size.. that is until the shrimp got them.

My LFS has a couple of huge asterinas in one tank, and this looks like one.
