What a Funky Little Plant Needs a Name tho

Well I live in Southwest Florida on an Island and on a walk around my home town I noticed this strange what I call Funky Plant. It was growing in oyster shells and wasn't very tall but I managed to easily get it up roots and all and take it home after putting it in regular potting soil it exploded! I had managed to get a couple but one died or so I thought I had tossed it in a pot of sphagnum moss and now there are 3 or 4 new shoots of plant. One day after a nice rain we had I noticed on my workstation (which is outside) that the leaf from this Funky plant had sprouted new growth and roots! I'd like to know what it is and if the leaves are what it uses to propagate I imagine it would be a very invasive plant I have managed to keep it contained tho so I I don't have any problems with it taking over anyhow here are the pictures

Oh yeah it seems to very extremely fast growing if you look at the picture of the whole plant It fell over and started to grow towards the sun in only a few hours I could actually mold it into strange designs in a few days if I wanted a different shape

Hmm what other information can I give you oh yeah I live in Zone 10a

I would say what you have there is Kalanchoe pinnata - the form varies so when checking look at as many images of the plant as you can.

WOW! Thank You! Now at least I have a place to start if it's not but from the pictures I've seen it does look like a form of that plant you said! Thank you Very much :)
