Clown (Armadillidium klugii)

• Care: ★★☆☆☆ Easy–Moderate

• Hardiness: ★★★★☆ High

• Reproduction: ★★★☆☆ Moderate

Clown Isopods (Armadillidium klugii) are a striking species known for their dark bodies, bright spotting, and colorful skirt patterning. They stay fairly visible once established and make an excellent display colony for keepers who want something a little more dramatic than a standard cleanup crew.

They are hardy, relatively forgiving, and reproduce at a steady pace without becoming overwhelming. Provide plenty of leaf litter, decaying wood, calcium, and a clear moisture gradient with both humid and drier areas available. Every isopod order includes a complimentary bottle of ACE Colony Rations to help get your new residents settled in.
