It is a Astropecten articulatus, Royal Sea Star

http://oceanica.cofc.edu/TRCH-Echinos/web_Seastars/page01.htm

Abstract

FOOD OF THE SEA-STAR ASTROPECTEN ARTICULATUS
HARRY W. WELLS 1, MARY JANE WELLS 1, and I. E. GRAY 1

1 Department of Zoology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina


The stomach contents of 124 Astropecten articulatus have been identified and discussed. This starfish ingests great numbers of small sand-dwelling organisms. Ninety-one species of invertebrates were recovered, of which 73 were molluscs. The gastropods Acteocina candei, Natica pusilla and Olivella mutica comprised over 60% of the animals recovered. Astropecten articulatus apparently ingests whatever animals or shells it encounters. Because it effectively samples tiny fauna of offshore sand bottoms, its use is recommended as a collection tool for the study of this community.
