Cerberoides [Cerberoides]
Description
Cerberoides is a genus of small, cryptic isopods found in marine environments. Members of this genus inhabit sandy and muddy substrates, often burrowing to avoid predators. They have a compact body adapted for digging, and their morphology allows for efficient movement through sediment. These isopods contribute to the benthic ecosystem by participating in the breakdown of organic matter and serving as prey for various predators.
