I just did a quick google and it came up with probably what you got.Seems to be parancistrus aurantiacus(L-056).As for care and requirements,pretty much typical of all the pleco family,ph a little either side of neutral,not too hard water and 72-78deg.
Not much,as I say,you probably got that yourself.Ty these links
