Lobsterman Bill Coppersmith just caught what many are calling a "one in a million find" while fishing off the coast of Maine.
He immediately had to text his boss, Get Maine Lobster CEO Mark Murrell, because while scavenging through Casco Bay, Coppersmith pulled in an ultra-rare Cotton Candy Lobster!
Murrell told FOX News, "This is the first cotton candy we have discovered. Finding one like this is a true gift. It shows Mother Nature's true artistry."
The lobster was named "Haddie" in honor of Coppersmith's granddaughter, and the company has no intention to kill or cook the creature, and intends to move her to a permanent home.
Murrell said, "Haddie is hanging out in her tank at Get Maine Lobster, the number one direct-to-consumer seafood company based in Portland, Maine. There’s no intention to sell or cook Haddie! Instead, Get Maine Lobster is speaking to local organizations, and any interested aquariums can get in touch to adopt her so she can live out the rest of her life in safety and comfort."
Get Maine Lobster confirmed Haddie will be donated to the Seacoast Science Center in New Hampshire, which houses other rare lobsters, which will be her forever home.
