Recently got this little guy in a cactus/succulent assortment and I’m trying to repot him, but it’s very floppy and has a lot going on. New to euphorbia; I know it has very very toxic sap. In my google searches, I haven’t seen a plant with so many arms. Is it trying to drop some babies? Did I get a doomed specimen? I can see a few specks where I must have damaged it just now 🙁
I want to give it it’s best chance at life; my potting mix is about 1/4 cactus/succulent potting mix with some coir pieces, pumice, perlite, and sand.
Please help! I welcome any and all knowledge.

Need more light
I can’t tell if it’s a very etoliated E. Mammilaris or a very etoliated something else, eitherway it’s begging for light
It is stretching as it is starved from light. The pot might be too big, as succulents often only have small roots. This can cause trouble in the future
Coir is water retentive. I don’t use it. Also what kind of sand? I hope it’s grit and not play sand. I agree with others smaller pot according to rootball and LIGHT. South window preferably 🪴☀️💚
