Supplemental Nutrition: Weekly fresh vegetables (cucumber slices, squash, and sweet potato) + a weekly protein source (fish flakes, shrimp pellets, or nutritional yeast) and a constant, heavy calcium source (large cuttlebone, sepia, or crushed eggshells)
Bioactive Ecosystem Role: Bold, highly active surface display species and macro-cleaner — Note: Do not co-habitate with millipedes, as these giant, protein-seeking isopods can occasionally nibble on them during a sensitive moult.
