The tail looks amazing! No doubt you're going to get a lot of good swims from it. :)
Out of curiosity, is your username Gaelic in origin? I recognize Murúch, but not the first half of it. If so, it's awesome to see another mer with a Gaelic Mersona name on here. :D

Do we have Irish speakers here?! My Irish is terribad, but I love it! PhaylennMúrich, your tail is so cool! Gratz!

Phaylenn is my own feminizing take on the word Phalen which is Gaelic for wolf. I'm ScotsIrish so I felt that my mersona should be similar
I have minimal Irish Gaelic but Rosetta Stone is slowly changing that

That's really awesome! Though I was born in America I'm largely of Scottish descent. :3 I'm trying to use my Mersona as a way to better connect with that part of me. Sadly I don't have the time to devote to learning Gaelic, but I have a cousin in Scotland who's been learning it. :)
When do you think you might be able to test your new tail? It should look awesome in the water! :D The pattern will definitely be eye-catching.

Wait, when did Rosetta Stone have Irish? I've been waiting for that for years! I took Irish in grad school, and got to where I was very good at translations of old texts, I'm not-so-good at conversations.
And I second "when do we see your new fin in the water?" I bet it's beautiful!
