  1. Yes. That’s epicuticular wax, or farina, a coating succulents produce that protects the plant from sun, water, pests, etc. once removed, it does not grow back, so it’s important to try to leave it as intact as possible.

    I try to keep my farina producing plants untouched because they have the best colors when covered in the waxy leaf coating farina.
