Description
Idoteidae, or rockpool isopods, are found in intertidal zones and are well adapted to the fluctuating conditions of this environment. They can be found under rocks and seaweed, where they feed on detritus. Their ability to tolerate changes in salinity and temperature makes them important components of rockpool ecosystems.
