Thanks a lot guys, Aloinopsis is a better match. Wow, I'm surprised they are selling Aloinopsis, one of the rarest succulent here. Any idea if it will go dormant if the night temperature is about 27 degree celcius? Or is it a summer grower?

All Aloinopsis are winter growers to a greater or lesser extent. Water very cautiously in summer, they are easy to kill even in England's summers. Not at all might be better if it is 27C at night, or perhaps they would need light spraying to maintain them through summer. You must have experience of how to manage mesembs in your climate, but I imagine it won't be easy with this plant.
