Best Answer

It is the SUNFLOWER STARFISH.

The sunflower starfish (Pycnopodia helianthoides) is a large predatory starfish usually with 16-24 limbs called rays. It is the largest starfish in the world. Sunflower starfish can grow to have an arm span of 1 meter (3 ft 3 in) in diameter.The color of the sunflower starfish ranges from bright orange, yellow and red to brown and sometimes to purple, with soft, velvet-textured bodies and 16-24 arms with powerful suckers. Most starfish species have a mesh-like skeleton that protects their internal organs. Easily stressed by predators such as large fish and other starfish, they can shed arms to escape, which will grow back within a few weeks. They are preyed upon by the king crab.
