So, what is it exactly, a cotton candy lobster, an albino lobster or a translucent lobster?

Cotton Candy lobster… I think that would taste horrible.

Is it okay to turn up the temperature in the “aquarium?” Speaking as an avid lobster lover…

It’s a sparkle rainbow unicorn lobster from the new season of My Little Pony: Friendship is Lobsters!

It appears to be a “leucistic” lobster.

Now try saying Leucistic Lobster 10 times fast.

Could there be money to be made in breeding fancy ornamental lobsters? To Kickstarter!

He(?) could live a long, long time.

Can it be bred to produce more odd-colored lobsters?

Hmm…

I’m conflicted.

Is it luckier to get caught and placed into an aquarium where you’re guaranteed not to get caught again or would it better to be back in the ocean? What are the odds of being caught again?

When I was a kid cotton candy was pink, we didn’t have any of your fancy lobster-colored cotton candy.

Now you take your mutant lobster and get off of my lawn!
