One of the biggest isopods in the hobby is Porcellio hoffmanseggi, the Hoff or Titan isopod. In this video I introduce this isopod species, then talk about Porcellio hoffmanseggi localities/morphs, care and housing for this isopod, and whether or not this isopod makes a good cleanup crew species in a Bioactive vivarium, and finally, it’s status as a pet or hobby isopod.
