Species profile
Cubaris sp "Darth Vader"
Native to Thailand, Cubaris sp "Darth Vader" is regarded as a more demanding species to maintain than many other Cubaris. It is therefore a very rare species! They have a distinctive dark slate-grey to blue-grey colouration and contrasting pale white "cheeks", which give the front of the body a resemblance to the iconic Star Wars character's helmet.
The name "Darth Vader" comes from the species' distinctive appearance—its dark blue-grey body and pale white facial plates closely resemble Darth Vader's famous helmet
