Hi! Can anybody confirm what kind of cactus did I just get? The label says cylindropuntia fulgida v mammillata but when I google I don't find anything similar and I want to add it to PLANTA to learn how to care for it. Anyone?

I searched it up and the results are an Eve's Needle cactus (Austrocylindropuntia subulata)

It does look like Cylindropuntia fulgida, but more like monstruosa vs mamillata

Here is a detailed closeup
