Periclimenes madreporae is a species of saltwater shrimp in the family, Palaemonidae, and was first described in 1969 by Alexander James Bruce. [1] [2]
The male holotype and paratype were collected from Erskine Island, in the Capricorn Group of the Great Barrier Reef at a depth 3-6 fathoms in February 1966. [2]
In Australia it is found in New South Wales and Queensland. [3] It is also found in waters off La Réunion, Solomon Islands, Caroline Islands, Society and Tuamoto Islands. [3]
Chappaquiddick Island, a part of the town of Edgartown, Massachusetts, is a small island off the eastern end of Martha's Vineyard. Norton Point, a narrow barrier beach, sometimes connects Martha's Vineyard and Chappaquiddick between Katama and Wasque. Breaches occur due to hurricanes and strong storms separating the islands for periods of time, most recently on December 22, 2022. While both land forms have mostly been connected to one another in modern history, Chappaquiddick is nevertheless referred to as an island.
