Hey Crypto,
I'd be looking in the T. mandragora or T. beguinii group, perhaps zaragozae ?

Thanks Navajoa. You are spot on with zaragosa. The tag on the copiapoa in the foreground was wrong and it turns out it belongs to those turbs and it is zaragosea. The flower colour threw me I was expecting something more like subterraneus the close relative of zarargosa. Here's that species, subterraneus that is. They are not stretched seedlings as you can see from the T. gracilis in the same pot. This plant always grows like that.
