Cubaris sp. “Cherry Blossom”

is a recently introduced and visually stunning isopod species, named for its soft pink coloration and pale segmentation reminiscent of cherry blossoms in bloom. As a new  species within the Cubaris genus, it remains rare in the hobby and is sought after for its delicate appearance and exclusivity. This species is a selectively bred line or mutation derived from Cubaris sp. “Red Pak Chong”

These isopods are small, slow-reproducing, and sensitive to environmental changes, making them suitable only for experienced keepers with stable, high-humidity setups.
