WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y. — Check this out! The general manager of Hayes Seafood House in Williamsville found an orange lobster.
The shipment came in from Boston, Massachusetts.
This is the most recent one to be found in Western New York, though we're told they are a rare find.
Last month, another lobster named Larry the Lobster was moved from Western New York to the Kansas City Zoo after he was found in a shipment at the Tops in Hamburg in May.
According to experts, orange lobsters have a mutation in their genetics that turns them orange.
"I thought the lobster was cooked but it turns out we got a one in a 30 million lobster, an orange lobster," Nick Pyzikiewicz the general manager of Haye Seafood House
“It's important to know these lobsters are not a different species. It's the same American lobster you find at Red Lobster or in the freezer section. It's just a discoloration or a different coat if you think of it that way," Rafael Calderon from the Aquarium of Niagara said.
If you want to take a look at this rare lobster it will be staying close to home. Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada in Toronto will be the next home for the lobster.
