Little Sea (Cubaris murina)
Cubaris murina "Little Sea" Isopod Care Guide
Cubaris murina "Little Sea" is a charming regional morph of Cubaris murina, known for its soft bluish or silvery tones. Like other murina morphs, it is adaptable, fast-breeding, and one of the best Cubaris options for beginners or bioactive enclosures.
Enclosure:
Provide a well-sealed container with adjustable ventilation to maintain high humidity. Use a deep substrate of flake soil, sphagnum moss, and plenty of leaf litter. Add lots of tight hides such as cork bark, clay pieces, and stacked bark—murina species love secure spaces.
Temperature & Humidity:
Maintain temperatures between 72-78°F. "Little Sea" prefers high humidity (80-90%) with minimal dry areas. Mist regularly to maintain consistent moisture without oversaturating the substrate.
Feeding:
Feed a base of decaying leaf litter and soft hardwoods. Supplement with isopod diet, fish flakes, shrimp pellets, and occasional fresh vegetables or fruit. Protein supports strong growth and steady breeding.
Behavior:
"Little Sea" isopods are active and quick to establish. They breed at a fast pace and tolerate a wide range of conditions compared to many Cubaris, making them great for both beginners and advanced keepers alike.
