I got this tiny cactus as a present for Christmas. I am sure it is a real cactus because of the areoles. Can anybody see what species it is? The diameter is about 3-4 cm (1.5 inch).

Likely to be a Gymnocalycium. It will need to be a little bigger to tell for sure. Very handsome plant, in my opinion.

I would guess *G. multiflorum.* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnocalycium#/media/File:Gymnocalycium_multiflorum.JPG – alephzero Jan 25 '19 at 13:25
