Cubaris 'Anemone'
Cubaris 'Anemone' is a captivating isopod species recognized for its vibrant, anemone-like coloration and patterns. This striking species features a mix of bold colors and intricate patterns that make it a visual highlight in any bioactive vivarium. Alongside its aesthetic appeal, 'Anemone' plays an important role in decomposing organic matter, contributing to a balanced and healthy ecosystem.
Care
Lighting Requirement:
Cubaris 'Anemone' thrives in low to moderate light conditions. Mimic their natural habitat with a shaded or dimly lit environment to prevent stress and dehydration. Direct, intense light should be avoided.
Moisture & Humidity:
Maintain high humidity levels, ideally between 70-85%. The substrate should be kept consistently moist but well-draining to prevent waterlogging. Regular misting and providing areas with varying moisture levels will help the isopods manage their hydration needs effectively.
Temperature Requirement:
Optimal temperatures for this species range from 68-78°F (20-26°C). Ensure temperatures do not drop below 60°F (16°C) to keep the isopods active and healthy.
Feeding:
Cubaris 'Anemone' feeds on decaying plant matter, such as leaf litter and rotting wood. Supplement their diet with calcium sources like cuttlebone to support healthy exoskeleton development and overall well-being.
