Is this really a Sand Rose?

I bought this plant maybe a month and a half ago, and it came with a sticker that said it was an Anacampseros rufescens. Putting that name into Greg told me that it’s a sand rose succulent, but it doesn’t really look like any sand rose that I’ve seen in pictures. Can anyone tell me if this is really a sand rose, or if they might know what else it could be? Does it just take awhile to develop the pinker tips? Or do they not all grow that way?

They need lots of direct sun to develop the coloring. That goes for any succulent, they'll revert to all green when they don't get enough light. Aim for at least 3-4 hours of direct sun. A west or south facing window is best.

Thank you so much! I’ve been giving it more sunlight and I’ve already been starting to see it turn pink. :D
