Can anyone tell me what kind of star this is please?

it kind of looks like a red chocolate chip star - but - those 'chips' are more prominent than I've seen. What did you buy it as? (where did you get it)?

Echinaster echinophorus I believe, and now that song is stuck in my head

I got it at my local store. I forget what they thought it was but they weren’t sure either.

Yep - I believe you're correct - how big is the starfish? They feed on sponge - so may be a bit difficult to keep?

ha! Sorry, the song was the first thing that popped in my head. I looked that up and I believe you are correct! thank you. I wanted to make sure I'm giving it the correct diet.

It could fit in your palm. I've tried giving it shrimp but doesn't seem to care for it like my Chocolate Chip Star does.

They get to be as big as 2.8 inches according to the site I saw -thats why I was asking.
