First, there was the rare orange lobster that appeared at a popular seafood restaurant, and now there’s this even rarer “fairy floss” lobster that’s blowing everyone’s minds. It’s rather simply the most stunning crustacean we have actually ever seen. A lobsterman called Joseph Kramer made the once-in-a-lifetime catch this past weekend off the coast of New Hampshire.
Regional news reports that 25-year-old Kramer, who owns the Atlantic Lobster Company in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, took his boat out Sunday afternoon to raise 20 lobster traps. In the extremely last trap he pulled up, Kramer noticed a remarkably colored lobster. He assumed it was a blue lobster, which is a rare find in itself, however he was in for a surprise.
Kramer took his valued catch to the Seacoast Science Center. Portsmouth Herald further reports that fish tank staff informed Kramer that he had captured a genuinely uncommon cotton candy lobster– a 1 in 100 million find.
“This [lobster] has a really gorgeous kind of a lavender, purple, pink-ish shade to it that puts it right in the fairy floss category,” Seacoast Science Center aquarist Sam Rutka told Portsmouth Herald.
Kramer contributed the lobster to the fish tank, where it will be put on display after it goes through a quarantine procedure.
