Anyone know the scientific name of a sugar starfish?

I am trying to label some shells, starfish, etc. for a case at our local fair. I have been all over the internet looking for the scientific name for the sugar star. I come up with the genus asterias from the class Asteroidea, but that's it! I can't seem to find the species. Can anyone please help me??? ASAP!!!

Anyone know the scientific name of a sugar starfish?
Asterias rubens is the listing for "common starfish".





I believe this is also known as the "sugar starfish" but I could be incorrect.
