Cubaris sp. ‘Amber’ (also known as the Amber Ducky Isopod) is a standout terrestrial isopod prized for its striking honey-amber coloration and distinctive duck-faced appearance. Originating from the limestone-rich cave and karst environments of Thailand, this species brings a rare, vibrant aesthetic to any collection or bioactive display. Even though it is an old morph and one of the most beautiful Cubaris species, it is certainly underrated.
