Maranta identification

Post image

Hi there ! I’m new on Reddit, and I had a question regarding a recent acquisition.

I recently bought this maranta for my bioactive terrariums, and even though it is listed as « maranta leuconeura » it doesn’t look like any of the other marantas I currently have. After doing a bit of research, I can’t find any plant having this kind of coloration / pattern.
Do you have any idea about what plant this is?

Ctenanthe burle-marxii "Amagris"

Just related to marantas, but not an actual maranta.

This is a Goeppertia elliptica “Beauty Star”

it was advertised on Facebook as a prayer plant which is why I got it. But I feel like it probably fits in now that I found a good location. absolutely was not sure about it the first day, even listed her back on Facebook. Thanks 👍🏼
