Cubaris /Nesodillo sp. Red Tiger Isopod Care Guide

Cubaris (or Nesodillo) sp. ‘Red Tiger’ isopods have amazing colors, but their shyness may prevent them from being the best pet isopod. I have enjoyed my red tiger isopods, despite the fact that they tend to run and hide quite quickly when disturbed. Their variable colors and patterns are beautiful.
