Looks like thelocactus bicolour to me, the purple could be from strong light or temperature or something but it seems perfectly healthy. There's some other variations of it, I have thelocactus bicolour v. Tricolour whatever that means but I don't know if that makes a difference when it comes to ski...

Hi! Could someone please ID this purple cactus for me?
