Description
Cubaris murina, commonly known as “Little Sea,” is named for its smooth body shape that resembles a small sea creature. This species thrives in humid terrariums with proper temperature and moisture levels. They benefit from a misting system or shallow water dish to maintain their preferred humid microclimate. Their semi-aquatic nature and delicate appearance make them a fascinating addition to bioactive setups, especially for hobbyists interested in unique crustaceans.
Master Culture
For successfully setting up a master culture setup of isopods we recommend using 6 qt - 32 qt plastic shoebox tubs. Locking tubs are optional but provide added security. Creating a series of small holes on alternating sides of the container will help to achieve healthy flow and reduce mold. Adding 1-3 inches (more for burrowing species) of pre-soaked Pangea ABG Substrate will provide a suitable substrate. Adding Pangea Sphagnum Moss, Pangea Leaf Litter Decor (the more the better), and pieces of wood or cork bark will help provide multiple layers for isopods to inhabit and feel safe. Mist culture as needed.
*Co-habitation amongst separate species of Isopod is not recommended.
*This animal can only be shipped to the US Contiguous, except LA, OR, and FL because of state regulations.
