    It looks like pencil cactus (Euphorbia tirucalli). I don't know if there is anything else it would be confused with.

    Looks like Rhipsalis sp., possibly R. baccifera, Mistletoe Cactus.

    Can you take a close up of the stem?

    Yes, Rhipsalis. Those with featureless, round stems are difficult to tell apart. My guess would be cereuscula because of that cluster of short stems, but I am not sure.
