Just a question how much would a piece of acropora like that cost you in the US?

From the size in your photo:
Wild acro colonies, $40-$100 USD.
Aquacultured colonies, $200- to whatever someone is willing to pay.

That all depends on type, size and color. Your coral colony appears to be a wild acro colony. Most wild acro colonies don't last long in our aquariums. Most turn brown and die in less than three months. Some stay brown for years before coloring up again. Sometimes you get lucky. Most of my brown SPS's are wild corals. Aquacultured sps's are the way to go. Good luck ! Take weekly photos to chart it's progress.
