• They are hardy and establish easily.
• They are a mid-sized isopod that makes a great clean-up crew, pet and are viable for most bioactive setups.
• The unique characteristic of this species is their method of volvation ; rolling only partially into a C shape, unable to tuck their tail or antenna into their shell.
• Name: Cylisticus convexus, known as the Curly isopod

In rare cases, starving isopods may attempt to consume the carapace of freshly molted invertebrates or even gnaw on small or delicate reptiles or amphibians. We strongly recommend providing supplemental food to your clean up crew in the enclosure, such as Josh's Frogs CUC Cuisine. When in doubt, using dwarf species of isopods, such as Dwarf Tropical Whites, may be a safer option.
