Cis-tub with long3 tail is an 11-cell still life.

This still life is comprised of the normally stable tub with a normally unstable long3 tail attached. While it technically has no isomers, it is named cis due to the corner part of the tail being closer to the tub; the other "isomer", trans-tub with long3 tail, has this corner part slightly farther.

Unlike the trans-version, the cis-tub with long3 tail is the smallest way in which a tub can have a tail of a given length attached to it in cis orientation - shrinking the length of the tail would result in unwanted births and as such the configuration would no longer be a still life.

Commonness

Main article: List of common still lifes

It is the 29th most common 11-cell still life out of 46. It is 60 times as common as the cis-tub with long4 tail.

Glider synthesis

All strict still lifes with a population of 22 or fewer cells, all oscillators with 16 or fewer cells, and all spaceships with 31 or fewer cells are known to be glider-constructible. A glider synthesis of this object can be found in the infobox to the right.
