Lemon Blue Isopods (Cubaris sp.)
The Lemon Blue (Cubaris sp.) is one of the most eye catching Cubaris in the hobby, and one of the largest. A solid, shimmering dark center framed by a bold lemon yellow skirt gives this Thai species its name and its unmistakable, high contrast look. With adults reaching up to 2 cm, they bring real presence and color to any collection, whether as a standalone display colony or a striking centerpiece in a planted bioactive setup.
Calm and cryptic by nature, Lemon Blues are most active at night and settle in beautifully once established. They are a steady, rewarding species that breeds at a moderate pace in the right conditions, making them a favorite among collectors and a true showpiece Cubaris.
All Lemon Blue isopods for sale at Creature Cache are captive bred and ship with a 100% live arrival guarantee.
