    Idk about the safety but it is a fake plastic flower, that's more preference I think I don't think it harms the plant persay

    I think it's a hedgehog cactus. My Google search says it's not toxic to people or animals but it can cause irritation and infection if the spines poke into your skin. The pink thing on the top does appear to be artificial.

    It’s a rainbow hedgehog cactus. The flower on top is fake. If remove it could possibly damage the cactus but it should heal up without a problem.

    Yeah the plastic top will drain moisture from the plant. Use hot water to weaken the glue and pull gently, make sure the water doesn't get to the roots. The glue should weaken and you'll be able to remove the flower. Some of the spines will break but make sure you're trying to prevent as much damage as possible. The quicker you get it off the better

    Just leave the flower eventually it will come off.
