Cubaris sp "Murina Glacier" – Captive-Bred

Cubaris sp "Murina Glacier" is a lovely white morph of the widespread Cubaris murina. This variety is completely lacking in pigment, appearing bright white with clear skirts, giving them an almost elegant, frosted glass-like appearance. Even the eyes are unpigmented, with the only visible colour often being food in the digestive tract.

Known for being one of the most active and forgiving Cubaris species, Murina are fantastic for beginners and experienced keepers alike!

Care Information

• Size: Juveniles/mixed sizes
• Diet: Rotting hardwood, leaf litter (oak, beech, maple, chestnut), and lichen form the staple diet. Supplement regularly with calcium (cuttlefish bone, limestone, or powdered calcium carbonate) and occasional protein-rich treats (e.g. fish flakes, shrimp pellets, vegetables such as squash, carrot, or sweet potato).
• Temperature: 20–26 °C. Room temperature is usually fine
• Humidity: 70–80%. Maintain a moist/dry gradient: one side humid with moss or damp substrate, the other drier. Mist lightly or use a dropper every week to maintain stability without waterlogging.
• Ventilation: Provide good cross-ventilation to prevent stagnation, while keeping humidity stable.
• Substrate: Substrate minimum ~5cm deep mix, organic soil, flake soil, rotting wood, sphagnum moss, and leaf litter. Add cork bark and hardwood pieces for shelter.
• Enclosure: 3L Braplast tub or larger. For growing colonies 5L and 11L tubs may be more suitable.
