What are these

Question

These things started poking out of my #FishboneCactus and I don't know what they are 
I'm assuming they're normal but it's always good to double check lol

Answer

Looks like new stem growth.

Answer

As fishbone cacti are epiphytes, they have aerial roots! These aerial roots grow out of their stems and help them grab onto the surface they're growing on. They also help with some moisture and nutrient intake. The aerial roots might look a little odd, but they're nothing to worry about. 🤗🪴

Answer

Arial roots are small thin roots that grow from the stem.  I think you have a new stem before leaf development.
