Description
Spherillo ‘Castle Black’ is a striking, dark-bodied species admired for its deep charcoal to jet-black colouration. Its smooth, glossy appearance and strong conglobating ability give it a bold presence within any temperate isopod setup.

This species is hardy and adaptable, thriving in enclosures with a clear moisture gradient, good ventilation, and a steady supply of leaf litter and decaying hardwood. They appreciate slightly drier conditions than many tropical species, while still maintaining access to a consistently damp area for successful moulting.

With their robust nature and reliable breeding once established, Spherillo ‘Castle Black’ is an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced keepers looking to add a darker, visually impactful species to their collection.
