@Grootlings17 I agree with @ExecAudreyficus and to be honest I don’t believe that pink thing on to of your cactus is real and have to careful remove it. The sooner the better. I hate when vendors put that stuff on cacti just to make a quick buck. If the flower is glued on, try soaking the glue with isopropyl alcohol or a heat gun to loosen it, then gently pull or pry it off. Be careful not to damage the cactus spines or flesh while removing the flower. Inspect the flower: Determine how it's attached. Is it glued, pinned, or simply placed on top?
If glued: Use a heat gun (or blow dryer) to gently heat the glue. Alternatively, soak the glue with isopropyl alcohol, and a q-tip. If pinned: Carefully pull out the pins.
Gently remove: Once the glue is softened or the pins are out, gently pull or pry the flower off. Clean up: Wipe up any remaining glue or debris with a damp cloth. Observe: If the cactus has any wounds, allow them to dry and heal, and be extra careful with watering. Hope this helps, Happy Growing!!

@Grootlings17 definitely a fake flower! @Ms.Persnickety gave fantastic advice for removing it 😊
Also noticed the app ID'd your succulent arrangement as a paddle plant, which it's obviously not lol. Looks like several different Echeveria, Pachyphytum, and maybe Graptosedum or Graptoveria. Fortunately they have the same care needs, so lots of direct sun and only water when the soil is *completely* dried out. If you're thinking about separating them into their own pots, better to do it sooner rather than later. The longer they stay in the same pot together, the more intertwined their roots will become and the harder they'll be to separate.
I totally agree with @itsjordan as far as asking the Greg community for ID help (or help with anything plant related for that matter!). As much as I love this app, the ID tool leaves much to be desired 😛 I've personally had much better luck using Google Lens.
