It looks like a type of hawarthia, maybe hawarthia retusa. Hawarthia is a pretty widely variable species, which makes it hard to identify if you’re only familiar with one of the subspecies. For instance, I believe the one in the back right is also a hawarthia! But they sure do look fairly different

Agreed on retusa.

Thank you for your help!! Also do either of you think I should repot them into their own pots?? The one in the back left is getting fairly big and I feel like they’re looking cramped but maybe that’s how succulents thrive? I’m new to caring for succulents so any advice is very appreciated!
