| I just had to snag these off ebay when I saw them. There is no makers mark on the cuttlefish at all, it is clearly a copy of the AAA model. The jelly is hard plastic and has the word China and the letter A on the underside of the mantle/bell (I'm at work at the moment and don't recall exactly what is on it). Any idea on species for either or a possible maker? *sorry for the poor photos, I took them late last night after a looooong day at work* [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]_________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.

| They look great! Those are poor guesses but they look like a common cuttlefish and a golden jellyfish to me. |

The morphology doesn't support Mastigias. While stylized, it looks like it was influenced by Pelagia noctiluca, as were other 'generic' jellyfish (e.g. Safari Ltd. WS Sealife) |

| Sorry for the delay in response. The jelly is only marked China and an A. The cuttle fish has nothing. It is formed jusy like the AAA model, the top third of the mantle is hollow but the rest is pretty solid, just cast in softer plastic (more squishable especially in the hollow bit). The Jelly is much harder plastic, but the tentacles are bendy. _________________ -"I loathe people who keep dogs.
