What is this?

Please help in identifying this cactus. I purchased it from my local garden shop and when I got home and looked at the plant marker it said "mini aloe". I think I know enough to know that is not what this is. Maybe it's really a succulent? Thanks for your help!

I think it is a euphorbia of some sort. I do not know much about euphorbias, but perhaps it is euphorbia lactea? I am not sure, someone more knowledgeable about euphorbias may be able to help you
