Jyakmey Monomanok lies along the volcanic shoreline of Orchid Island (Lanyu), off the southeastern coast of Taiwan, home to the indigenous Tao people and known for its rocky lava coastline and surrounding coral-fringed waters. Sites here are typically reached by boat or short entries from rocky access points cut into the terrain. Divers have reported a mix of crustaceans along this stretch, including cavipes hermit crabs, coconut crabs, mottled lightfoot crabs, purple hermit crabs, and tawny hermit crabs, alongside tomato clownfish sheltering among the reef.
