I honestly don't know much about these plants. The only thing I do know about them are that they are a primitive member of the Cactus family and that they are the only member of the Cactus family that has some species that come from the Eastern Hemisphere (Africa).

That said--I have three Rhipsalis. The first one I got years ago is that very thin round, stringy one. I forget the species name offhand, but it is the most common that one usually sees. The second one I got about three or four years ago and it is like the one that Happenstance started this thread with. When I first got it, I thought it was an Epi too until it bloomed. Tiny little cream-colored blossoms all along the leaf edge. Here it is.
