The fuse with tail and nine is a 12-cell still life.

As its name implies, it is composed of a diagonal string of cells supported at one end with a tail, and at the other end with a nine.

Among the 121 still lifes with 12 cells, this is the 46th most common still life according to Catagolue.

A 5-glider synthesis of this still life was found in January 2020.[1]
