Description

The Laureola sp. ‘Durian Spiky’ is a rare and unusual isopod species, instantly recognisable for its heavily armoured, spiked exoskeleton that resembles the thorny skin of a durian fruit. This unique appearance makes it a standout in any collection and a must-have for keepers who enjoy odd and distinctive species.

They thrive in warm, humid setups with a deep, nutrient-rich substrate, strong ventilation, and plenty of leaf litter and rotting wood. Colonies establish steadily, though reproduction is slower than common species, rewarding patient keepers with hardy and visually striking groups.

With their dramatic spines and tropical origins, the ‘Durian Spiky’ Laureola is best suited for intermediate to advanced hobbyists looking for a rare display species unlike any other in the isopod hobby.
