Can someone help to ID this beautiful piece?

Got this today for free but have no idea what it is, how much it's worth, or requirements.

Free??????
You scored on that Acan!!
Not sure of the exact name but they like medium light & flow ares of the tank....

 

[blazedmasta]

So is it safe to assume that it's a rainbow acan?

 

[Reeferdood]

Id say yep... :)
Very nice score....

 

[blazedmasta]

Sweet!

 

[stevo01]

Nice score on the rainbow acan!

 

[JaimeAdams]

Yeah that's a nice one. Micromussa lordhowensis they used to be classified as Acanthastrea lordhowensis. In my experience they like low light and low flow. Most people will tell you to keep them under all blue light to keep those pretty colors.

--Update--
Nice freebie

 

[AcroNem]

That's gorgeous, yep It's Micromussa lordhowensis. And as a freebie too that's awesome.

 

[ChiCity]

awesome freebie man!
for best results, those wild rainbow acans should be placed in low light (predominantly blue being best) and low to mid flow; otherwise it'll just turn mostly orange or red
