It may not exhibit a split personality, but this lobster is so unique that the chances of catching it are around one in 50 million.

The Wellfleet Shellfish Company announced that a split-colored lobster was caught off the coast of Cape Cod by a local fishing crew aboard the Timothy Michael.

The crustacean—half orange and half black, split right down the middle—has a long life ahead, too, because it is not headed for any lobster pot.

The company is donating it to Woods Hole Science Aquarium, where “she’ll eventually be on display for the public to experience up close once they reopen.”

In the meantime, the lobster was handed over to the team at the Marine Biological Laboratory of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), also in the town of Woods Hole, on Cape Cod.
