ID of this cactus please. Is it a Coryphantha ?

Short spines confuses me a bit but it looks much like Hamatocactus hamatacanthus to me.

Both true. Lots of synonyms for this one.

except those two are not synonyms

Hamatocactus hamatacanthus is synonymous with Ferocactus hamatacanthus;
i'm pretty sure Iann is right here.
