sedum clavatum perhaps? it’s hard to say there are so many varieties lol

it should have a powdery coating on it — it looks like it’s been wiped away maybe? you want to leave that, it acts as a sunscreen for these guys

no wiping has been done! this is how it’s looked since i got it

My identifier agrees it is a sedum and not an Echeveria but is saying it is more than likely sedum spathulifolium (aka Colorado stonecrop).

They are adorable 💚 definitely a sedum of some sort. I’d be curious to see if any color change under some strong lighting.
