It really looks like Gasteracantha versicolor, the colors are different but most of the Gasteracantha species are very variable in the color so, i think that it could be G. veriscolor

Thanks, Jolly. Yeah, most of the Gasteracantha look similar but have different color patterns. There are a lot of different varieties, and most don't seem to have images on the internet, so a little hard to research it.
