Ah, explains why I was having trouple identifying it. I thought the closest
match was a prickly pear but it was skinnier. I never thought of cacti
getting leggy.

What's the best thing to do? It has responded well to cuting back hard, and
cuttings take very easily. Should I just do that and then place it somewhere
lighter?
