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

He then immediately texted Get Maine Lobster CEO Mark Murrell, alerting him of the historic find.

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."
