In Kelli's first picture and over to the far left in one particular flower a nice amount of yellow is present. Parusing around and looking at other flowers it appears the same. In the ground, and in full Sun I can imagine that the leaves would be the typical fatties and longer.

Many succulents in hanging baskets and depending on nutrients available and light, can appear daintier and less robust then others in perfect conditions. Some will appear to be an entirely different plant. Ever seen a stringy long Burro's Tail in slightly lower light?

Your plant is not stringy Kelli. Smiling It's beautiful. Try a piece in the ground in a hot Sunny area this year and experiment! I tip my hat to you.
Hottentot Fig (Carpobrotus edulis) is still what I believe this plant is.
