These crustaceans depend on hard, calcified exoskeletons for protection but must molt regularly to allow for growth. During the molting process, isopods re-absorb some calcium from their exoskeletons, but they still lose some calcium, which has to be replenished from their food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffer one block per colony, placing the blocks directly on the ground of the habitat or on a food dish.
