The blue lobster is a very rare species, with only one blue lobster in two million according to experts.

A blue lobster was drawn to the surface in the net of a fisherman on the beach Pine Point, about 16 km south-west from  Portland, Maine.

The blue color in lobsters is due to a genetic defect causing the lobster to produce too much of a certain protein.

The blue lobster Skyler, as the fisherman named him, will be donated to an aquarium in West Boothbay Harbor where he will not be alone as this aquarium already has three blue and an orange lobster.
