Biography
Paul is a Porcellio scaber displaying the "Orange Koi" morph. They were born and lived out their manca stage in a dedicated bin for his species and morph ass normal. However, it is believed that as a very young isopod, they somehow made the journey from their bin to another bin containing a population of Spherillo sp "Bat Ray". Still a pale juvenile, they were first noticed living among the Spherillo as a refugee in late 2022, but eluded capture and skirted attempts at identification. Photographic proof of the presence of a foreign isopod in the culture was eventually obtained and their likeness was publicized on r/isopods, were they were positively identified as Paul.
