Here is the plant I mentioned earlier. Also, tell me what you think of the other seedlings and what they might be called.
1st photo
The cactus on your photo is an Astrophytum hybrid, hakujo fukuryu banjyaku.
I think the gene of fukuryu is mixed slighty in the cactus.

2nd photo
A: unknown astrophytum
Asterias with white lines as No. 1 and going clockwise

No.1: asterias cv super kabuto mixed with miracle kabuto slightly
No.2: hybrid, A x super kabuto
No.3: hybrid, A x super kabuto
No.4: hybrid, A x super kabuto
No.5: asterias cv super kabuto
No.6: asterias cv super kabuto
No.7: asterias cv super kabuto
centre: hybrid, A x asterias
(what does ''Co-kabuto mean? )
It is a strange Japanese but I think "child / small" kabuto.

Frank
Thanks for your input Frank!
Are you sure the centre one is a hybrid? There is no raised ribs...

G'day Mike,
Are you sure the centre one is a hybrid? There is no raised ribs...
A standard asterias has 8 ribs. Some asterias also have 7 or 9 ribs. The centre one has just 5 ribs.
There are no pure asterias with 5 ribs.

I think it may be crossed with an astrophytum with 5 ribs, possibully coahuilense.
I have never tried coahuilense x asterias but experienced coahiulense x super kabuto. All hybrids are 5 ribs.
An asterias crossed with coahuilense can tolerate various environments especially it will be no roots rotting.
Because of the above reason, people without confident to propagate asterias use this hybrid.

Although more than one dozen fissuratus related species have pushed flowering buds up, I think I can not see any flowers today because of bad weather for flowering.

I will show you updated appearences of 1st filial Ariocarpus hybrids.
Hybrid: retusus v furfuraceus cv Suguri cauliflower x fisseratus cv godzilla
Pollen receiver: retusus v furfuraceus cv Suguri cauliflower
Pollen supplier: fissuratus cv godzilla

Sown seeds: 2nd July 2020
Grafted on Pereskiopsis: 9th October 2020
Degrafted: 23rd octoer 2022
Since scions were not large enough when they were degrafted, degrafting with a short stock method was carried out.

They have shown various appearences which mixed both parents. They are in 8.5 cm square pots.

I bought seeds of Ariocarpus retusus v furfuraceus cv Suguri cauliflower and sowed in 2005. Unfortunately just 2 seedlings survived.
To confirm the character of cultivar earlier, they were grafted. One of them showed the character but the other did not.
I crossed these two and collected seeds because I could not select any other ways.

As I expected, just less than 10% of seedlings showed the character of cultivar. They all were also grafted to see the character earlier.

Photo 1: The original cauliflower plant
Photo 2: One of descendants showing the character of cultivar
Photo 3: They could not show the character of cultivar. I have still kept many.

They are in flowe now.

I bought seeds of ariocarpus fissuratus v intermedius and sowed in 2005.
Unfortunately just one plant of original ones have survived but I have kept 15 descendants which all are flowering age.
Two plants on photos are descendants.

Ariocarpus retusus related species were in flower. It took years but they have reached to flowering age without grafting.
