Can anyone tell me if these long tendrils that have appeared on my Beavertail and Fishbone epiphyllum cacti are normal or a symptom of something?

Usually a symptom of not enough light

They need at least 6 hours of bright indirect sunlight to stop growing the skinny leaves. The alternative is 10 to 12 hours under a grow light.
