Blue Lobster Unusually Bright

fishfreaks · 08-01-2005, 05:47 AM

BRISTOL, R.I. -- There's something blue to see in one Rhode Island community. A blue lobster at The Audubon Society has molted and is at its brightest blue ever. The lobster is on display at the society's Environmental Education Center in Bristol. It was caught two years ago, but has never been so blue. Blue lobsters are about a one in 5 million occurrence.

There's a few pics in the link.

Hmm, now here's where genetic engineering would be fun. They could make a whole bunch of blue lobsters.
