Are you sure that's Aphonopelma mooreae? It looks a lot like a Grammostola actaeon or Grammostola iheringi.

Grammostola and Aphonopelma have different builds. Additionally, Aphonopelma mooreae tends to have a blue or blue-green carapace with a red-orange abdomen, whereas Grammostola actaeon and Grammostola iheringi are mostly black with red on the abdomen.

What a cute little guy! But yeah, that's not an Aphonopelma moorae. Like Ungoliant said, it's a Grammostola species. They're still wonderful spiders and I'm sure you'll enjoy having him. So fluffy!
