A vibrant pink, purple, and blue lobster, dubbed a ‘cotton candy’ lobster, was caught off the coast of New Hampshire. This incredibly rare find, estimated to occur at a rate of 1 in 100 million, is now on display at the Seacoast Science Center. The lobster’s unique coloration stems from a genetic mutation that disrupts the normal pigmentation process, resulting in a stunning display of hues.
A fisherman in New Hampshire caught a rare blue, pink, and purple lobster, estimated to be a 1-in-100 million find. Recognizing its rarity, he donated the lobster to the Seacoast Science Center, where it will be on display.
