I’ve had this plant for years and have never been able to identify it. I only know that it’s a succulent. Any ideas?

its hard to identify, as its so etoliated (streched from a lack of light). theres a chance its an echavaria, or maybe a variety of sedum.

if you want to propogate to get it a little heathier looking you can cut off the top half, and put it in some well draining, chunky cactus/succulant soil. i wouldnt water for about a month, or until there are roots. give it direct, full sun for at least 8 hrs a day, if you dont have any good windows you can invest in a grow light!

hope this helps!

I’m confidently sure that this is an Echerveria ‘Moonlight’ but it’s etoliated and all the leaves are short so it’s hard to identify, move it into more light and let it grow
