Periclimenes dardanicola is a species of shrimp found in the western Pacific Ocean.

P. dardanicola grows to a carapace length of 2–4 millimetres (0.08–0.16 in), and can be distinguished from related species, including the similar Periclimenes parvus by the form of the carapace, and by the relative lengths of the parts of the first pereiopod.

[1] The animal is chiefly white, with red along the edges of the carapace and the abdominal somites.

[1] Specimens of Periclimenes dardanicola have been collected from various locations in the western Pacific Ocean, namely Suruga Bay (Japan), Vietnam, and Borneo (Indonesia).

[1] Although only formally described in 2006, this species has been recognised as distinct since 1993, and has been featured in illustrated popular science books from 1986 onwards.
