Common Name: Powder Blue

Scientific Name: Porcellionides pruinosus

Porcellionides pruinosus “Powder Blue” isopods are a highly popular species in the bioactive hobby, valued for their soft blue-grey colour and excellent clean-up abilities. These small, active isopods are fast breeders and quickly establish thriving colonies in terrariums and vivariums.

Powder Blue isopods play an important role in bioactive setups by feeding on waste, uneaten food, shed skin, and decaying organic matter. By breaking down this material, they help maintain a cleaner and healthier environment for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.

Due to their hardy nature and rapid reproduction, Powder Blue isopods are perfect for bioactive enclosures that require a reliable and efficient clean-up crew. They thrive in moist environments with plenty of leaf litter, wood, and organic material.

Key Features:

• Hardy and easy to care for
• Fast breeding and highly active
• Excellent bioactive clean-up crew
• Attractive blue-grey “powder” appearance
• Suitable for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrate enclosures

Ideal for bioactive terrariums, vivariums, and for establishing a productive isopod colony.
