Steve Hatch and his uncle Bob Green of Norwich found the bright blue crustacean in one of their lobster traps Sunday morning.

Researchers at the University of Connecticut say the blue lobster would have turned red if it were cooked. The 1 1/2-pound lobster is now a permanent resident of the Mystic Aquarium and Institute for Exploration, joining two other large blue lobsters already on exhibit.
