"CC." I said to my client (still holding tight to the wriggling jellyfish's tentacle), do you happen to have any unusual identifying marks--so we won't confuse you with your look-alike crayfish?"

Sure enough--there was the tattoo of a rose on his claw and when I glanced at the other pale blue crayfish's claw--thank goodness--there was no tattoo!
