First, there was the rare orange lobster that showed up at a popular seafood restaurant, and now there’s this even rarer “cotton candy” lobster that’s blowing everyone’s minds. It’s quite simply the most gorgeous crustacean we’ve ever seen. A lobsterman named Joseph Kramer made the once-in-a-lifetime catch this past weekend off the coast of New Hampshire.

Local news reports that 25-year-old Kramer, who owns the Atlantic Lobster Company in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, took his boat out Sunday afternoon to bring up 20 lobster traps. In the very last trap he pulled up, Kramer noticed a brilliantly colored lobster. He assumed it was a blue lobster, which is a rare find in itself, but he was in for a surprise.

Kramer took his prized catch to the Seacoast Science Center. Portsmouth Herald further reports that aquarium staff informed Kramer that he had captured a truly rare cotton candy lobster—a 1 in 100 million find.

“This [lobster] has a really beautiful kind of a lavender, purple, pink-ish hue to it that puts it right in the cotton candy category,” Seacoast Science Center aquarist Sam Rutka told Portsmouth Herald.

Kramer donated the lobster to the aquarium, where it will be put on display after it goes through a quarantine process.
