This mutation of Cubaris is what many would consider the "calico" expression in this species. The gene displays across a spectrum; but with a red base overlaid with dark patterning. Some animals are entirely red, others entirely dark. and many in the middle have varying degrees of contrast of the two colors.
The original member of cubaris, these were first collected in Florida. Litters of murina may be as small as 2 babies. These isopods are quite small and endearing, and also roll up into a ball.
Murina do well in a range of environments, including tropical, temperate, and semi-arid. They enjoy eating soft bodied plants but are a docile roommate to sensitive reptiles and amphibians.
