I got this starfish from my LFS, they had no idea what starfish it was and sold it to me for $49.99. Does anyone know what type of starfish this is?

Looks to be a luzon starfish.

It does look pretty similar in shape and texture, maybe it is.

I was going to say, if you found a yellow linckia it would be an amazing find. Probably would be super bright yellow if they exist. Linckias are hard enough to have enough food for, but a yellow one would probably be the hardest.
