I had one of those quite early on in my history of trying to grow cacti and associated plants and I did not keep it alive. It will probably have issues with full sun here. I had it in late afternoon sun and it managed to hang in there for a good time but eventually croaked on me. It is a really cool plant though and I would try it again, limiting to morning or just very little sun.
It is what it is!

I am ashamed to admit feeding the beast, but I found it at Walmart of all places.

This is Euphorbia ferox.

(E.anoplia is a spineless, dwarf form usually no higher than 18cm full grown.)
