Glacier Isopods (Cubaris murina)

Glacier Isopods for Sale (Cubaris murina)

Cool as ice, but please keep them warm.

Glaciers are a white color morph of Cubaris murina, and they look stunning against dark substrate. Like many Cubaris, they're a bit timid, but give them a humid home and some cover and they'll settle right in.

Origin: A color morph of Cubaris murina, a widespread tropical species found in warm regions around the world.

HPI Preferred Habitat Targets: 72–78°F; supporting relative humidity around 70–85%; keep roughly two-thirds of the substrate consistently moist with a smaller, less-wet zone and steady ventilation. Moist substrate should remain damp rather than saturated; avoid stale air and excessive heat. Recommended substrate depth 2-3".

Diet: As with most isopod species, their main diet should be lots of leaf litter, decaying wood and a calcium supply. Supplement with organic fresh veggies & protein.

Reproduction: Moderate (Brood size ~2-25)

Perfect For: First-time Cubaris keepers, humid bioactive enclosures, and display terrariums with dark substrate.

Ordering: Priced per isopod, with a minimum of 3 per species. Starting a new colony? We recommend 6–20 (see How Many Isopods Should I Get?). Bulk discounts apply automatically.
