Originally from Vietnam, these collector-grade isopods stand out with their bold gradient coloration — jet-black plates fading into vivid red, orange, and yellow. Unlike most isopods that hide in the substrate, Ember Bees are unusually active and outgoing, often climbing and displaying themselves in the open.
