American fishermen caught super rare cotton candy lobsters

John McInnes, who catches lobsters in Maine, is quite predestined in catching strange color crustaceans. He has caught twice with a rare cotton candy lobster.

Last month, McInnes caught a rare cotton candy lobster in Casco Bay, near Portland, New England.

In particular, this is the lobster he caught when he was young and released.

"I caught it last October and it's too small to hold, and then I caught it, " McInnes said. "The catch place (cotton candy lobster) is probably 2.5 km away from where I dropped it."

This time, the lobster was big enough for Mr. McInnes to keep, but he decided not to eat it. In the case of cooking, this strange lobster still turns red as usual, he said.

This special lobster has a brilliant purple, blue and pink shell, which stands out among other brown lobsters.

Mr. McInnes is letting the lobster in the water tank and hopes to give it to an aquarium.

Most American lobsters are dark green to greenish brown, according to the University of Maine Lobster Institute.

A genetic defect will cause lobsters to produce proteins that produce unusual colors, such as blue, yellow, orange or even more coordinated colors.

However, this is quite rare. Colorful colors will make lobsters difficult to avoid predators.

The rarest lobster is white lobster or albino, with a ratio of 1 to 100 million.
