Haha I think it might have contracted a rare case of Euphopbiantitus, in this case the even less commonly seen Euphorbiantitus piscidermitosis. Symptoms include loss of spines, poisonous milky secretions and an extreme susceptibility to rotting off.

I prescribe heat and lots of it

Thanks Phil, I'm not really a 'forbie-phile' so I that was my best guess from seeing one in a book years ago. I suppose I should really check my I.D's first.

Have you seen the new giant form that's been discovered? http://www.cact.cz/noviny/2010/01/Maxirauschii.htm

Those Czech explorers find some fantastic plants!
