An extremely rare lobster was saved Monday by an alert employee at a Massachusetts restaurant.
The unusually colored “calico” lobster is marked by bright orange and yellow spots. But the extraordinary find could have easily ended up in someone's belly at Jasper White's Summer Shack restaurant in Cambridge.
“We happened to be cleaning the tank and I happened to be there," White told the Boston Globe. "One of my guys said, 'Chef, look at this lobster,' and from across the room I knew it was special."

A math professor contacted by the aquarium calculated the probability of seeing all three together in the wild at one in 900 quintillion -- or one in 900,000,000,000,000,000,000.
I believe all lobsters when cooked, turn red-orange. Pass the melted butter?

Actually, the odds are quite a bit lower than that.
Mainly because all you'd need to do is find two of them together...then introduce a blue lobster to the mix. These can be easily created by feeding any lobster a diet of....lobster. This is what creates the blue coloring.
Cheating? Perhaps a bit.
