Need help ID'ing small palm

Evening from the East Bay CA,

I picked up a small palm from a local nursery that didn't have a proper label when I made the purchase. The only info was a small tag that said 'rare'.

Originally, I had this palm planted in full shade on the front side (north) of my house and it put out a single spear the first year in the ground. I transplanted this palm 3+ months ago to a protected, and much sunnier location in my backyard (south). It seems to have bulked/spread out more since settling in behind some growing Kings. Any ideas on what the species might be even though it's still very young? Thank you.

Maybe a little later in Oakland's climate, as I'm still waiting on mine to open later in June.  Meanwhile lots of seeds hanging on from last go round.  Jadd this species will easily handle and probably prefer full sun in your climate, like mine.  These clump which is good because they are also monocarpic (the trunk that flowers will eventually die).  Expect multiple inflorescence on each trunk, which can last a couple of seasons.  Height is limited due to the monocarpic growth, so they make excellent screening plants once they establish a clump.

Arenga angler can make a near-impenetrable visual barrier; they completely block my view of the World's Ugliest Roof (belonging to my neighbors). 

There's different varieties; a short type, a medium type and a tall type. @Jadd Correia yours looks like it might be a tall or medium. They get to be about 10 to 15 feet tall, with a lighter, airier appearance than the shorties that get to about 6 to 8 feet.

@Tracy yours looks like a medium or tall type as well. 

Love them all. 

And, one more good thing; if you have to, you can move large clumps. I moved one of mine a while back and it's going gangbusters.

That's good to know!  I was thinking about digging up an Engleri and a Tremula and moving them.  They are both about 15-30g size in the ground.  I figured they'd be pretty tolerant of transplanting.
