Wow! Did'nt know there was a Mermaids Tea Cup. I found Mermaids Wine Glass http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/101... washed up on the beach here after a storm. Took me a long time to identify them but so happy that I did. Love the common names. Have'nt spotted any mermaids yet!

You're putting-up some great spottings ! - keep them coming. Although plain, this is very beautiful against the clean white coral sand.
