I’m praying my red moon cactus doesn’t have scales I hope this ain’t no scale I literally just watched a video about them and I’m panicking because I’m scared for my kluster

If you’re worried, I would separate that cactus to a different room if possible to prevent spreading to other plants and just observe it for a couple days, maybe check nearby plants for similar symptoms to help :) Luckily with scale they’re not too bad, and you’re able to physically remove them without having to move straight away to more aggressive treatments with pesticides (like with thrips or spider mites etc).  
Good luck!
