An easy shine to start with.
Pearls isopods (Cubaris murina) carry a soft, pale sheen that gives the morph its name, and murina as a species is known for being more approachable than many Cubaris. Native to Southeast Asia, they want consistent moisture and a moderate calcium supply. Kept at 72 to 80F with humidity around 70 to 90%, this beginner-friendly species is a good first Cubaris for a keeper stepping up from Armadillidium or Porcellionides.
- Soft, pearly shell finish
- One of the more beginner-friendly Cubaris species
- Consistent tropical moisture requirements
- A great stepping stone into the Cubaris group
