An orange lobster named Crush, was accidentally delivered to a Red Lobster restaurant in Pueblo, Colorado, before being transported to Denver’s Downtown Aquarium.
A rare lobster is now safe at an aquarium after it was accidentally delivered to a Red Lobster in Colorado. The restaurant staff recognized that this shellfish stood out from the bunch. 'They’re very dark brown with maybe a few small spots or discoloration points, so having one that was bright orange that none of us had ever seen was definitely a bit of a shock,' Kendra Kastendieck, the general manager of the Red Lobster in Pueblo, told FOX 31.
She said several guests spotted the unique-looking creature and asked why staff had a 'cooked lobster' in their tank. The lobster was safely transported to Denver's Downtown Aquarium. NEW YORK STATE FISHING RECORD BROKEN WITH SPECIES DATING BACK 100 MILLION YEARS An aquarium staff member told Fox News Digital in an emailed statement that orange lobsters are one in 30 million. Their coloration is from a 'genetic mutation which affects and prevents encoded proteins.
Crush is not the first rare orange lobster to wind up at a Red Lobster. In 2022, staff at a Florida Red Lobster location saved an orange lobster and sent it to to Ripley’s Aquarium in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Fos News Digital reported. The lobster was named 'Cheddar,' after the restaurant’s biscuits.
Fox News Digital reached out to Red Lobster for comment.
