Porcellionides pruinosus, often called the “powder blue” isopod, is a fast-breeding, hardy clean-up crew species that’s perfect for beginners and experienced keepers alike. This Lucky Mix includes a random blend of colours — usually blues, oranges, whites, and more — making it a great way to add variety to your terrarium or vivarium. These isopods are active, visible, and fantastic at breaking down waste, uneaten food, and mold.
