I apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused any customers of mine, I am very careful and meticulous with how I label my stocks to ensure that people get what they are looking for, but unfortunately this one slipped through the cracks. Me not having a TON of isopods, specifically the other orange Cubaris spp. to compare to, and not being an expert on identifying them by any means, resulted in this mishap. I just took the ID they were marketed under at face value, and that's on me.
Unfortunately rampant mislabeling of species is very much a thing in this hobby, and is a problem that tends to get worse and worse over time. I have unfortunately been unable to source any real sp. "Surat Thani" as of late, and wonder if they're actually extinct from the US hobby...
So TLDR; if you got Cubaris sp. "Surat Thani" from me, you in fact got Cubaris sp. "Salmon Martinique". Please relabel your setups accordingly. Pictures below are of my current stock, identified now as C.sp. "Salmon Martinique".
Anyways, that does it for this post. Thanks for reading, and again, apologies for the inconvenience this may have caused anyone who obtained this mislabeled stock from me.
