✨ Why You Need the "Red Edge" Isopod

 * Striking Appearance: The "Red Edge" is instantly recognizable! The standard morph features a dark, often bluish-black shell beautifully outlined with a distinct, vivid red or orange edging on each segment. They are true jewels of the soil!

 * The Ultimate Cleanup Crew: These peaceful little detritivores are excellent recyclers. They feed on decaying organic matter—like leaf litter, rotten wood, and uneaten food—contributing to a cleaner, more stable, and more hygienic environment for all your enclosure inhabitants.

 * Shy and Unique Behavior: As a Cubaris species, they are a "roly-poly" type that will curl into a perfect ball when disturbed. While primarily nocturnal, you may occasionally catch a glimpse of these shy creatures foraging during the day, adding an element of surprise and discovery to your habitat.

 * Ideal for Bioactive Setups: Their moderate size (up to 13-15 mm) and detritivore diet make them a perfect fit for tropical and subtropical bioactive terrariums, pairing especially well with springtails.

> Pro-Tip for Success: Like many Cubaris species, they thrive with a generous substrate depth (4-6 inches is ideal) for burrowing, and appreciate a hide (like cork bark) over a damp area, along with a separate, slightly drier spot for feeding. Provide a steady source of calcium (like cuttlebone) to ensure healthy molting and exoskeleton development.
