Cleantiella [Cleantiella]

Description

Cleantiella represents a lesser-known genus of rockpool isopods, distinguished by their elongated bodies and relatively smooth exoskeleton compared to other genera within the Idoteidae family. They inhabit intertidal zones, hiding under rocks and seaweed, where they feed on detritus and algae. Their streamlined shape helps them navigate the turbulent waters of their rocky shore habitats.
