My coworkers thought this was a euphorbia and a ficus respectively. The tag just said 2" assorted terrarium. Anyone?

I'm not sure but it kind of reminds me of Dwarf Snowbush (Breynia disticha 'Minima')

Hm, maybe. That's the euphorbia that person A thought it might be, too. I thought that had more elongated leaves, but it could be because of how young the plant is?

The plant in your photo does not look like any Euphorbia I've ever seen. The genus Breynia is in the Phyllanthaceae family, whereas I think the genus Euphorbia is in the Euphorbiaceae family.

I'm sure others will be along soon with suggestions as to an identity of your pretty plant.

I'm with Lin; def a Breynia - they are very often seen in these "terrarium" assortments.

Euphorbias are almost never grown in terrariums unless they are the more dry/desert setups for some lizards, tortoises, etc. But Breynia is a common terrarium plant
