Plant identification

I'm trying to figure out what this plant is, it goes between this deep maroon color to almost white at times, any ideas? The app says it's a moses-in-the-cradle but it definitely is not

Neoregelia carolinae or blushing bromeliad. Its noted for its center turning red when its about to flower. Also known as Earth Stars or Moses in the cradle

Earth stars are similar, but not the same. Can you take a picture at a different angle? It looks a lot like a Ti, but I've never seen a bushy one like that.

@sarahsalith It turns super pink when it's over watered lol, it got rained on the other day and the soil was soaked, usually is almost white with just a flush of pink

@greengirl it's really cool. When you find out the name and you think about it, please tag me. That would be a cool #wishlistplant (:

But I have a Moses and I have multiple earth stars and they don't look as cool as your plant.
