Where did you find it @MistaOrange? Locally? Probably not... Lol, we don't have colors like that here.

Ask Perky on which shipment did they received it. Would definitely help to identify it properly if you know from where about in the world it originates from.
 
wrong question bud.

Asked him which shipment.
 
Could be Astropyga radiata or Tripneustes gratilla

Here is a pic of the Astropyga

Hmmm, think david might be right.
Looks like a asthenosoma ijimai / varium


Hopefully not the asthenosoma marisrubri as they are poisonous...
