10 to 15 count Pack of Shiro Utsuri Isopods!
 
Previously believed to be Cubaris sp., "Shiro Utsuri" have now been categorized as Nesodillo archangeli. These are a well breeding variety of isopod from southern Asia. Shiro Utsuri isopods present with black spots on an all white base and is a representation of the dalmatian gene. The name was inspired by the Japanese koi fish "Shiro Utsuri" which has a white base and black spots; this variety of isopods was originally exported from Japan.
 
Initially, it was believed that "Shiro Utsuri" was a mutation of "Silver Ghost", but taxonomists are theorizing that these are a different species entirely due to morphology.
 
Shiro Utsuri do best with a deeper substrate depth, decaying leaves, and a generous calcium source.
