Starfish ID

We were rearranging our propagation tanks and found some interesting creatures, one of which was a starfish that looks like it has regenerated from a leg. The large leg is a motled brown color with a green tip and the rest of the body and legs are a pea green color. The starfish is about 2 inches across including the larger leg.



If anyone can help identify this starfish species so we can find out his food requirements and reef compatability it would be very appreciated!

Thanks.
