When lobsterman Bill Coppersmith saw his hull on Friday, he knew he found something truly remarkable.

The catch? A rainbow-colored cotton candy lobster.
 

The odds of catching such a lobster are about 1 in 100 million.

The lobster, caught in Maine’s Casco Bay, features an iridescent, opal-like shade on its shell, a result of a genetic mutation that creates unique colorings.

"This is the first cotton candy we have discovered," Murrell told Fox News. "Finding one like this is a true gift. It shows Mother Nature's true artistry."
