Description

The Armadillidium depressum ‘Magic Potion’ is a stunning morph of the UK-native A. depressum , combining the species’ characteristic flat, wide body shape with the vibrant, speckled colour patterns of the classic ‘Magic Potion’ line. The result is a hardy, eye-catching isopod that brings both unique form and striking colouration to any collection.

Like the wild-type A. depressum , this morph thrives in a well-ventilated setup with both moist and dry areas, plenty of leaf litter, and decaying wood. Although they cannot roll into a complete ball, their defensive behaviour and unusual body shape make them particularly interesting to observe.

Easy to keep and reliable breeders, Armadillidium depressum ‘Magic Potion’ is a fantastic choice for beginners who want something colourful yet hardy, and for experienced keepers who enjoy adding unique morphs to their colonies.
