Introducing the Cubaris Murina 'Anemone' Isopod
Dive into the fascinating world of designer isopods with the Cubaris Murina 'Anemone'!
These tiny crustaceans are more than just a clean-up crew—they're a stunning, unique addition to any bioactive terrarium, vivarium, or dedicated isopod collection. Named for the delicate, flower-like pattern on their carapace, the 'Anemone' variety of Cubaris Murina is a sought-after gem known for its captivating looks and robust nature.
Why Choose 'Anemone' Isopods?
* Distinctive Beauty: The 'Anemone' boasts a unique, deep orange cream or bluish coloration that contrasts beautifully with darker specks and a subtle, almost iridescent sheen. Their appearance truly lives up to their marine namesake, making them a centerpiece in any enclosure.
* Ideal for Bioactive Setups: As excellent detritivores, they are champion custodians, efficiently consuming decaying organic matter, mold, and even pet waste. They help keep your enclosure naturally clean and healthy, balancing the soil ecosystem.
* Hardy and Prolific: Cubaris Murina are famously robust and easy to care for, making the 'Anemone' an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced keepers. They adapt well to various environments and reproduce at a moderate, steady pace.
* Active and Engaging: Unlike some shy species, 'Anemone' isopods are frequently seen exploring the surface of their substrate, offering continuous viewing pleasure.
Care & Habitat
These isopods thrive in conditions similar to other Cubaris species:
* Substrate: A deep layer of moist, quality substrate (like peat moss, or specialized isopod soil).
* Moisture: Maintain a moisture gradient—one side damp and the other drier—to allow them to regulate their hydration.
* Diet: Offer a varied diet of decaying hardwood leaves, natural wood, and supplementary protein (like dried shrimp, fish flakes, or dedicated isopod foods). Don't forget their essential calcium source (cuttlebone or limestone)!
