A pied form of the Porcellionides pruinosus 'Powder Orange', also known as the orange cousin to the 'Oreo Crumble' isopod. Looks almost identical to the 'Oreo Crumble' but with a vibrant orange color.

A medium-sized, soft-bodied isopod.

Hardy species prefer warm and constantly humid environments.

Not sexually dimorphic.

Fast-moving and challenging to catch.

AKA "Sowbug," thus cannot roll into a ball. 

Note: This species lacks a hard shell (soft-bodied) and is, therefore, delicate. Extra care must be taken when transferring them. Don't handle or drop soft-bodied isopods into a container.

This species is known to cannibalize each other when their diet has insufficient protein.  

 

Captive bred. Colonies include various sizes/ages.
