From Google- Technically, yes! That colorful pink "ball" is actually a parasitic mutation (Gymnocalycium mihanovichii) that lacks chlorophyll, meaning it cannot produce its own food. It relies entirely on the green bottom cactus (usually a dragon fruit plant) to feed it.Because it is a parasite, the top cactus will eventually die out—typically after a few months to a few years. If the pink top begins to turn brown or rot, you can cut it off entirely with a clean, sharp blade, and the green bottom cactus will likely continue to grow on its own. - hope this helps!
Sorry I gave fasle information 😅 it sounds like the top is dead chop it off so the other part can live
