Panda King Isopods (Cubaris sp.)

'Panda King' isopods (Cubaris sp.) are a type of isopod native to Vietnam, known for their banded black/dark gray and white pattern. Aside from their distinct pattern, this species can be identified by their highly domed body shape and armored appearance. They're also able to curl into a tight ball!
