Haddie , the cotton candy - colored lobster who was capture off the glide of Maine , will before long join her family at theSeacoast Science Centerin Rye , N.H.—mere Day after she detect herself in lobsterman Bill Coppersmith ’s boat .
Coppersmith caught the lobster on Friday , harmonise toFox News . He told Get Maine Lobster CEO Mark Murrell now and name her Haddie , after his granddaughter . Unlike the rest of her lobster brethren , Haddie would n’t be put up for sale .

The pastel Haddie — most lobster are some form of brown — in all probability got her color because of a inherited genetic mutation , Fox News reported . It was the first time Coppersmith had fancy one in his 40 age on the water .
When you see the odds , it ’s surprising he even found Haddie . accord to theMaine Lobstermen ’s Community Alliance , one out of every 2 million lobster is blue while one in every 30 million is chicken . Finding the one in 100 million lobster like this ? you may almost forget about it — until now .
