Succulent ID confirmation help requested. PlantNet is showing this as a probable Echeveria canto and a possible Dudleya pulverulenta. I think it is more likely a Dudleya (very thin and very chalky leaves that are tough to remove). This one is at least 3-4 years old and I had to split it today into two parts (I accidentally knocked it off the shelf a couple of years ago and you can see in the second photo where it has been trying to separate).

@plants I clipped the flowers as I'd like it to put the energy into root growth for now. There is a small offset on the lower section that has been there for about a year but doesn't really seem to grow.

@chillicampari @plants I seem to remember Dudleya flowers stem from the bottom part of the rosette, while Echeveria ones from the top and that's a semi-reliable way to tell them apart.

I just searched for it to make sure, and this page agrees: https://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/2318

@tofu aha! That helped, thank you. It looks like a close match to what's on this page https://www.succulentsdelight.com.au/products/echeveria-thin-leave-blue-bird-%E8%96%84%E5%8F%B6%E8%93%9D%E9%B8%9F?variant=40402469486778 and the video here https://www.ixigua.com/6830379655682327044?logTag=4edc423f33ce79db4113

which are labeled as an Echeveria Blue Bird (thin leaf) which I can't fine another name for (maybe it's a hybrid?) Thanks again for the help!
