   Neotrypaea californiensis (ghost shrimp) can be found at intertidal locations within the regions of the North American West Coast. Ghost shrimp habitat is distinguished by numerous holes that are the entrances and exits of their burrows. Ghost shrimp are constantly excavating complex tunnels under the sand.
   
   Body coloration ranges between shades of orange, pink, and red. Some individuals may also exhibit a very pale coloration, almost white. Their almost transparent bodies help them blend in, earning them the nickname "ghost."
   
   The vigorous burrowing activities of ghost shrimp have such dramatic effects on their habitats of soft sediment that these animals are often considered ecosystem engineers.
