Fishermen discovered a new $ 50 million two-tone lobster off the coast of Maine on September 6.

The color of the shrimp is split in the middle of the body, the left half is red and the right half is black. This is highly likely the result of a genetic mutation that only occurs in one in 50 million lobsters, according to scientist Matt Thaluhauser.

Captain Daryl Dunham, who found a bicoloured lobster near the Stonington Islands southwest of Bar Harbor, donated it to the Maine Coastal Fisheries Center. The particular male lobster will live with two speckled lobsters and an equally rare blue lobster.
The lobster will spend some time in the exhibition tank where visitors can touch its shell. Then, the crew will release him in New England Bay.
