Little Sea Isopod by the ocean?

[Acro]

Why is Cubaris murina called the "Little Sea Isopod"?  Are these found by the ocean?

I think murina means mouse but somebody found the originals in Florida (almost everything there is not too far from the ocean) and  originally confused the species name with marina.

That's hilarious!

Thanks Orin.

I thought it was because they look like the giant deepsea isopods

No, that's even sillier.
