Referencehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_depictions_of_turtles_and_tortoises

Editorial Comment Both Kojien and Daijirin support GG5 in having the reading as みのがめ and the meaning "an old turtle with seaweed growing on its back". The writer of the Wikipedia article said "The minogame is also depicted with a long feathery fan-like tail". I suspect he/she misinterpreted the seaweed.
