Hi! Could I have some help with a starfish ID? It came in as a hitchhiker on a rock I added today. Thanks!

Looks very much like a linkia starfish but linkia generally has six legs not to say it cant have 5. They are nocturnal and hide beneath rocks by day. Their actual food is unknown but presumed to include films, detritus, and algae they find on rocks
