CAPITAL REGION, N.Y. ( NEWS10 ) — What started as an ordinary trip to the grocery store, has ended with an extraordinarily rare find. A local family saves a blue lobster from the store’s tank, sparing its life.
Danielle Morales and her sons Parker and Zachary were in Clifton Park waiting for a haircut when they decided to go to a nearby Market32.

“And the boys always ask to go to the lobster tank,” said Morales. And that’s when they found “a blue lobster,” said Parker.
“We were walking around and they kept talking about the blue lobster and I was like, ‘You know what, why don’t we just contact somebody at the aquarium’,” said Morales.
They are members at Via Aquarium in Rotterdam and sent a photo to them on social media. Later that day, Parker explains they “came and saved him.”
Via Aquarium General Manager Tom Lavin describes just how rare this find is.
“Some statistics say one in 3 million, some say one in 30 million. So he’s pretty rare either way,” said Lavin.
