Default Can you help me identify this species of sea star?

Hi, everyone. Recently I recovered a sea star from our local beach in Sullivan's Island, SC (Atlantic). We took it home, and set him up in our salt water tank. I've been trying to figure out his species so that I can make sure that I'm properly feeding him, and I'm also curious to learn more about the species itself.

If you can offer any insight or information, it would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like a Asterias rubens to me, especially considering you found it in the atlantic. But I could be wrong
