2 Cactus I.D. 1

I picked these up from a local nursery about a year ago. I was told the one on the left was the Peruvianus. But I know how lost in translation things can get between suppliers.
The one on the right, however. Was unknown to them, so I bought it just because I liked it.
Well anyways, thoughts, opinions? Thanks in advance.

The lime green cactus resembles a myrtillocactus. But I'm not positive

Did a quick image search, and I'd have to agree with ya. The spines do resemble some of the ones I was seeing. Thanks.

What he said. The one on the left is looking very cereus.
Edit- On second thought, looks like a Stenocereus species.

Blue Myrtle on the left and I see trichocereus fulvilanus label on the cactus left and it seems like it. I have got two t. fulvilanus and they resemble your cactus. My cacti was just small ones and I have given them to family friend.

The label is half hidden, and actually says "peruvianus". But I realize this is incorrect.
I'd say it could be either one of the two mentioned by you and karode. "Stenocereus griseus" or "trichocereus fulvilanus"
Again, thanks for the help.

It isn't T. fulvilanus, or any Trichocereus sp.

They're what I identified them as. People saying otherwise need glasses or to brush up on their cactus identifying skills.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news k-man but the first one is not stenocereus griseus. Its just not.
Second is blue myrtle and the first I believe to be trich spachianus. Maynot be, but it is definitely not a steno.

I don't want to come off being argumentative, but I was looking at some spachianus pictures and they appeared to be slightly brighter green with the ribs a bit more rounded.
Are these characteristics variable? Or am I just looking at some bad references, and have no idea what I am talking about? 
But for the record, I hope it is a spachianus. Already have a few stenos.
I also wouldn't think the dude "good dude by the way" at my local nursery would be that far off with identification.

There is no T. spachianus visible in those pictures. It's so obvious I shouldn't have to point that out.
Use google images to compare and it should be clear.
The amount of wrong id's lately has me shaking my head sometimes. This is one of those times.
Also, I know plenty of "good dudes" that grow a lot of cactus but don't know a thing about what they're actually growing. Retail nurseries are a lot worse with identifications.
I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm only trying to accurately identify the cactus.

Word, good dude or not...you're right. People get things wrong. And like I said, the pictures of steno griseus I was checking out had more resemblance. The spachianus ribs I saw seemed to have raised "ridges" where the spines were. While the steno griseus had more narrow and thin ridges, resembling my picture a bit more.
All in all, thanks to everyone who gave input. I learned a little something from all. At this point, whatever it may be...it's healthy, growing quickly and making me happy. All that matters I suppose.
