• Gnorimosphaeroma noblei

  Gnorimosphaeroma noblei is a marine isopod in the family Sphaeromatidae, described by Menzies in 1954. It is a small crustacean capable of conglobation (rolling into a ball), a defensive behavior common in pill isopods. The species occurs in the temperate North Pacific region. Like other sphaeromatids, it inhabits marine intertidal and shallow subtidal zones.
