I have only seen a couple of these guys in many many dives. You can see the size of this animal compared tro the Spiny Sea Urchin. Johnston Atoll.:boom:

PS. I've never actually seen a shark using one of these as a pillow.

Also called a Pillow Star. If you look real close, some of them have Emperor Shrimp on them. Here's a Macro shot of one
