If its dry it should be safe to replant it. I would say that as its quite small, it will eventually out grow this and you wont be able to see it :o)

Half of my cory got eaten by snails!:(
When thousands of foes unite, for my ruins plot–
If only You remain by my side, I then fear not!
I live for a hoped union with thee, it is my desired prize–
Or all my moments are spent- in the fright of demise!

Maybe there is a large worm hiding on some of your cacti,they can do quite a bit of damage.
I have caught one in my cacti eating away!
