Orange you glad to see me: Eastham restaurant to donate rare orange lobster

The chances of finding an orange lobster are about 1 in 30 million.

EASTHAM — If there was a rare lobster lottery, Arnold's Lobster and Clam Bar has hit the jackpot twice.

On Sunday, the restaurant announced on social media that it found an extremely rare orange lobster in a delivery. How rare exactly? About 1 in 30 million.

The restaurant said it plans to donate the lobster to the local aquarium, where it will live out its life, likely with another one of its rare lobster finds  — a blue lobster donated by the restaurant last year, nicknamed Baby Blue.  

The lobster's orange coloring is caused by a genetic mutation. No word on whether it has been given a name yet.
