I recently was given this succulent. I'm quite new to these plants and curious on what species it is and what care is needed for it. Help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Maybe Ecehveria agavoides or a related cultivar, bit it needs a lot more light - several hours of sunshine per day.

Doesn't seem like Echeveria agavoides to me, but I'm definitely no expert. I placed it by an east facing window for more light.

The leaves looks a bit like a Gasteria nigricans (monstrose)

The leaves look like a regular rosette, but etiolated (i.e. stretched out because it's grown with too little light).
Whilst it doesn't look exactly like E. agavoides, I'd be enormously surprised if it's not Crassulacae family.
