A 1-in-100-million "cotton-candy" lobster that exhibited vibrant pink, purple and blue hues was caught by a lobsterman off the coast of New Hampshire in late July.

Joseph Krame, the 25-year-old who caught the specimen, donated his rare catch to the Seacoast Science Center in Rye, New Hampshire where the lobster, which is said to be "healthy and eating well," can now be seen on public display, Karen Provazza, a staff member of the Seacoast Science Center, told Live Science in an email.
