Unidentified starfish - Tom Redman

We are unsure of the identity of this starfish caught and photographed by Tom.  It looks like a type of cushion star (similar to Asterina gibbosa but I am fairly sure it is not that species).  Any ideas anyone?

  1. What about the Bloody Henry Starfish (Henricia oculata), or alternatively H.sanguinolenta?

    1. Yes, this is what someone I consulted said it probably was. However, all the photos I've found on the internet show *much* longer and thinner arms.
