A calico lobster, a mix of orange and yellow spots, is a 1 in 30 million specimen according to researchers, and thus has been spared from being delicious.

It was caught off Winter Harbor, Maine and saved from the cooking pot by Chef Jasper White at Jasper White's Summer Shack restaurant in Cambridge, Mass. after they noticed the coloration. They contacted the New England Aquarium, which then made plans to get the lobster, now named Calvin, and it will eventually take up residence at the Biomes Marine Biology Center in Rhode Island.
