No clue what variety of cactus it is, but it's one of my favourites.

I have one I inherited from my grandmother, it’s nearly impossible to kill. It’s the kind of plant that varies significantly with lighting conditions so if you move it, it will begin to grow differently and look odd. The compensation is it propagates easily, so whenever I have to move mine, I place some ‘peanuts’ on new soil. It grows so fast it is soon back to full glory.
When it finds the perfect place for itself, it looks like green dreadlocks. It will also grow very fast when given the water it needs. They are actually very thirsty for cactus and do best when watered regularly but allowed to dry only a little between drinks.
Anyhow, unsolicited free advice! Worth every penny
