Cis-tub with long4 tail is a 12-cell still life.

This still life is comprised of the normally stable tub with a normally unstable long4 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 long4 tail, has this corner part slightly farther.

Among the still lifes with 12 cells, this is the 94th most common still life according to Catagolue.

A 7-glider synthesis of this still life was found in March 2021.[1]
