Is that number 3 a cacti or be treated as a succulent? The shop owner told me they call it Medusa so I think that speaks for it but to be treated as a cactus, I dont see any spines or thorns or any signs it is a cactus what do you think?

Euphorbias are not cacti (they belong to another family) - but they (or at least this one) are succulents - so, yes - treat it like a cactus

No need to be sorry. It's alright you didn't know.
So maybe from now on 3-4 plants max per post and 2 photos per plant to show the characteristics
There are more cacti in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Number 1 is a bit odd looking.
The shape is your typical echinopsis oxygona type of plant...but it actually looks like a trichocereus :D

Some recommend removing reverted (normal) growth from cristates as it does tend to grow at the expense of the crest. You can usually root these down and get a normal plant, but occasionally they may even produce cristate growth themselves. It's merely a matter of personal choice.
