Yep, Cyph. decadia. I'd say the colors haven't fully developed. The "red" looks more like the typical brown of unpigmented tissue. Based on the hints of color, I would guess you'll have a very nice purple pink decadia. I have one similar right now. As with other cyphs, more moderate light will really bring out the colors.
 
this one is looking really nice right now. i'll see if i can get a picture of it. thanks guys for all the help.
 
actually those are the true colors, well close enough. it's actually an LPS. For a dark brown/reddish /w bright red tips keep it under high lighting. low lighting will give more of a reddish/orange base

IMO, looks better under low lighting
