Red Lobsters ONLY apparently at this Red Lobster.

A rare (1 in 30 million) orange lobster that was accidentally delivered to a North Carolina Red Lobster this week got the boot that saved its life.

"When you get a whole aquarium that has lobsters in it, and they look like little rocks in it, and then you got one spec that's just sticking out, it looks like a little gold nugget. When you picked him up, he looked like he was pretty much cooked after he had been cooked and put back in the tank," said a management rep to Fox News Digital.

The rare Lobster was transported to Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and given the name Larry after Spongebob's favorite lobster friend.

The Ripley's director explained the reason why some lobsters turn orange, "Lobsters obtain their color through the pigments they ingest in their diet. If these orange lobsters are being harvested from the same region, perhaps their localized diet contains a pigment that, when paired with the lobster’s genetics, creates the orange coloration we are seeing,"

Just recently, another orange lobster was delivered to a Colorado Red Lobster to the amazement of local staff. The staff named the lobster Crush after the Denver Bronco's defense, famously called, "Orange Crush."

While typically lobsters appear a "muddy brownish green color," according to rarest.org, there are other rare lobster colors, which you can find listed below (some even rarer than orange).

  • Blue: 1 in 2–5 million
  • Yellow: 1 in 25–30 million
  • Orange: 1 in 20 million
  • Calico: 1 in 25–30 million
  • Red: 1 in 30 million
  • Split-colored: 1 in 50 million
  • White or albino: 1 in 100 million

Apparently, it pays to be anything but red in lobster land in the deep blue sea!
