Description

The Cubaris sp. ‘Opal’ is a dazzling isopod, prized for its pearly, iridescent sheen that shimmers with soft pastel tones under light. This gemstone-like effect makes it one of the most visually captivating Cubaris species in the hobby, highly sought after by collectors for display colonies.

They thrive in warm, humid enclosures with a deep, nutrient-rich substrate, good airflow, and plenty of leaf litter and rotting wood. Colonies establish steadily, though breeding tends to be slower than beginner species, rewarding patient keepers with stunning, high-value groups.

With their shimmering opalescent appearance and moderate care needs, the ‘Opal’ Cubaris is an ideal choice for intermediate to advanced keepers who want a rare and truly eye-catching isopod for their collection.
