A father and son recently caught a rare, bright blue lobster while fishing off the southern coast of Maine.

Father Mark Rand and son Luke Rand said the crustacean will not be eaten. Instead, it will live in a tank at their family restaurant, Becky's Diner. The restaurant, located in Portland, is run by Becky Rand, Mark's wife and Luke's mother.

"We’ve never pulled one this color or even seen one to throw back," Luke Rand, 36, told the Portland Press Herald.

He said the lobster was caught on Thursday beyond Peaks Island in Casco Bay.
