Note: This species is currently being bred in-house. It will become available once a healthy and sustainable population is established.

Laureola sp. “Ivory Spiky”

is a small, visually distinct isopod species notable for its pale ivory coloration and sharply textured exoskeleton. The spiky projections along the body give it a unique, armored appearance, making it a visually interesting addition for hobbyists who enjoy more exotic genera.

These isopods are small, moderately reclusive, and humidity-dependent, suitable for intermediate keepers familiar with tropical microclimates.

Diet: Decaying leaf matter, soft vegetables, protein sources (e.g. fish flakes), and calcium
Behavior: Secretive, prefers to stay hidden, thrives in stable and undisturbed environments
