Six Varieties of Cubaris murina for sale

Cubaris Murina Little Sea is the classic. This soft grey isopod is the original and most popular Cubaris murina, and it’s the best starting point if you’re new to Cubaris. It’s reliable, active and a great clean-up crew for bioactive terrariums.

Cubaris Murina Papaya is a favorite for its soft pink tones. It’s a popular color morph that stands out in any enclosure, and it’s often chosen by keepers who want a splash of color without moving up to harder species.

Cubaris Murina Florida Orange brings warm orange coloring to your setup. It’s bright, cheerful and easy to spot against dark soil and leaf litter, which makes it fun to watch.

Cubaris Murina Glacier has a pale, icy look that contrasts beautifully with dark substrate and green plants. It’s a standout for keepers who like a cool, clean color palette.

Cubaris Murina Anemone is a distinctive morph that collectors love adding alongside the other varieties. Its unique look makes it a conversation starter in any display.

Cubaris Murina Mamey is a warm, soft-toned variety that rounds out the collection. Keep it next to Papaya and Florida Orange for a sunset-colored colony.

Why choose Cubaris murina?

All six varieties share the same easy care, so you can mix up your collection without learning new rules. Like other Cubaris, they’re tropical isopods that enjoy warmth, humidity and good ventilation. Give them a moisture gradient, so one side of the enclosure stays damp while the other dries out slightly. Provide plenty of hides such as cork bark, a deep layer of leaf litter, rotting hardwood and a calcium source like cuttlebone. They roll into a ball when disturbed and help keep your bioactive terrarium clean by feeding on decaying plant matter. Avoid keeping the substrate waterlogged, and your colony should settle in and grow steadily.
