Hmmmm interesting, how stable are they and what’s the variation in colors across them?

For just me the regular Porcellio expansus are more attractive!

Can imagine how silly this new line will be priced at in the general market, given they’re standard starting price 🥶

I believe it is one recessive gene. These two are about as different as "witches potion" get.
I agree that some species' regular coloration is better than their morphs (certainly not in the case of laevis or scaber), however if you do not think these are more spectacular it is because my picture is bad. It is overexposed a little.

These are honestly one of the more stunning isopods available. But not many have been released since discovered almost a couple years ago. They are recessive. And the hets often do look nicer than the normals. Babies start out white and color up as they age. And the patterns and range of color defs varies between individuals. These pics show a juveniles just starting to color up.
