Star ID

[dammar]

This isnt in my tank I just found the pic and I'm curious what kind of star it is.

Its about the size of a silver dollar I think.

Do yoo know where it is from? It is often very difficult to get an id on a seastar just from a pic, there are many similar types. Could be Patiriella calcar.
