Rare split-color lobster goes on display at Seacoast Science Center in Rye [View all]
New Hampshire might not have a Red Lobster, but it has a blue-and-orange one.
The Seacoast Science Center in Rye recently began displaying a rare split-colored lobster, blue on one side and orange on the other. The 1 1/2-poundcrustacean, acquired from the Maine State Aquarium in West Boothbay Harbor, is a one-in-50-million specimen.
The Maine aquarium obtained the lobster more than a year ago after it likely was caught in a lobster trap and later donated, according to Seacoast Science Center aquarist Rob Royer.
This is the first time the lobster has been put on display.
“The split color is very dramatic — orange and blue — something you don’t see very often,” Royer said.
