@oahuwriter Colorless, the special coloring is caused by a genetic mutation, lack of carotenoid pigments.
The lobster has not been donated to science it has been adopted and will be transported to the Seacoast Science Center in Rye, New Hampshire.

I haven't been to Rye, NH since 1990. I went to Franklin Pierce College in Rindge, NH in the mid to late 1980s.
