Starfish Identification? help

[andykocon]

I bought this starfish a while ago and have no idea what kind it is. I've tried looking it up but couldn't find a thing on it. Any help on ID-ing this guy?
Thanks, Andy

Never seen that one before.. looks like a green chocolate chip star.. at least in a closely related family. Google "protoreaster starfish" or "Knobbly sea star".

Not the best picture, but it looks similar to Oreaster.

Of course your absolutely right... Common name is Cushion Sea Star
