Cubaris murina (commonly known as the little sea isopod) is a species of woodlouse in the family Armadillidae. It is found in North America, Africa, South America, Australasia, tropical Asia, and the Pacific Ocean.[1][2][3]
Cubaris murina is a species that conglobates.
Cubaris murina has become popular as a pet in the exotic animal hobby. They have practical applications in improving the health of terrariums by serving as a bioactive clean-up crew, and are also valued for the attractive appearance of some of its color morphs (slang for observed Polymorphism). Known morphs of Cubaris murina in hobbyist collections include:
- Papaya - A dull pink variety that is believed by some to be the expression of some form of albinism
- Glacier - An almost completely white variety with white eyes, legs, and antennae
- Anemone - A variety widely described as a calico or speckled visual pattern of orange and grey
