Through the years, marine biologists have seen blue, yellow and red lobsters; but the purple variety is unique.
"Blue lobsters show up frequently, sometimes red, sometimes yellow and even white. A blue and red variation that we call purple is not impossible," said Professor Robert Steneck of the University of Maine in an email to WMTW.
Steneck guessed the purple lobster was a one-in-a-million catch.

I would taken a picture with it and then released it back into the wild...maybe to reproduce. Anyhow, pretty neat!

My dad was a lobster man who caught a blue lobster once, donated it to the Mystic Aquarium. I’ve never seen purple before.
