Well, these are hard, there are several poorly described species that come in under various trade names, and some of them can only be told apart by thier teeth.
Anyway it seems to be one of the genus Myleus, and to venture a guess I would go with sp. rhomboidalis, with a second guess of sp. asterias.
Eitherway, it is very young and they get pretty good sized (10"+).
