Durian Spiky Isopod (Laureola sp.)

Durian Spiky isopods (Laureola sp.) are one of the rarest and most visually striking isopod species in the US hobby. Named after the durian fruit for their heavily spiked exoskeleton, these armored isopods are a must-have centerpiece for collectors and advanced keepers. Each Durian Spiky features a golden amber body covered in dramatic dark spines that give them a prehistoric, almost mythical appearance.

All Durian Spiky isopods for sale at Creature Cache are captive bred at our Southern California facility and ship with a 100% live arrival guarantee.
