Im not sure its a chiton, it moves incredibly fast when it needs to and i can see its legsMini chiton. Good guy
You're correct, sorry. I have little chiton that have markings on their shell that look a lot like the photo.that aint no chiton, thats 100% an isopod but not sure if its the cirolanid or spheromatid one.
I don't know the species (keying them out is really a lab process), but if it rolls into a ball like a terrestrial isopod, then it's a Sphaeromatid Isopod, and it's harmless/beneficial.it rolls up when disturbed, anyone know species?
Cool, i threw him in my hitchhiker tank just in case and he swam awayI don't know the species (keying them out is really a lab process), but if it rolls into a ball like a terrestrial isopod, then it's a Sphaeromatid Isopod, and it's harmless/beneficial.
