Yellow lobster


With a spotted orange-and-yellow coloration, the lobster is perhaps one in about 30 million, specialists say. Caught in recent weeks off the coast of Prince Edward Island in Canada, the rare crustacean is now in a tank with nearly 100 other lobsters at Arnold's Lobster and Clam Bar in Eastham.

[The owner] plans to donate her to the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster or to the New England Aquarium, where Tlusty said officials would consider housing the lobster.

Other lobster color mutations (blue, half-and-half, albino) discussed briefly at Wikipedia.
