- According to the Nature Techni Colour website, the original 2010 Kitan Club version of this figure and the 2013 glow-in-the-dark version were marketed as the northern sea nettle, C. melanaster. On the website today's 2015 version is marketed as the 'Pacific' sea nettle, C. quinquecirrha (even though that is the Latin name for the Atlantic sea nettle). Nevertheless, the paper that accompanied the figure identifies it as C. pacifica. The website identification might represent an editorial mistake (besides, it's unlikely that a set of Pacific animals, all of which occur in the waters around Japan, would include a species endemic to the Atlantic Ocean).
