True Sinella curviseta. Very similar to Tropical Pink Springtails (Coecobrya sp.) in care and cleanup crew uses. The main noticeable anatomical difference is that S. curviseta has two ocelli on each side of the head while Tropical Pinks have no ocelli. While unfortunately many listings online for Tropical Pink Springtails are still labeled as S. curviseta, they are all Coecobrya sp. and S. curviseta have no common name yet. As of August 2025 this is the only listing online of properly identified S. curviseta.
