Hi Everyone,

So a few years ago I purchased a San Pedro from a cacti shop and noticed a small sprout I the planter. I thought it looked unusual but could possibly be a baby cactus so I decided to let it grow and a few months later I gave it its own pot. I figured it was a San Pedro but noticed instead of sharp spikes it had fleshy nubs. Around 2 years later it developed branches. It is truly an interesting looking thing and I'm not even certain it is a cactus.
Can anyone help? Any information is appreciated.

Yeah, I'd go with Euphorbia mammillaris. It could probably do with more light, though. :)
