In the ocean, after a couple of years it would be sayonara, shellfish.<\/p>\n<p>Jim R. Coronesi, who has owned Cor-J Seafood Market in Hampton Bays, L.I., for 25 years and buys upwards of 5,000 pounds of lobster annually, instantly recognized he had acquired a scarce crustacean when it arrived from Maine about two months ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor someone to eat it would be ludicrous. Lobsters can live a long time. If they take care of it, that thing could grow to be huge,\u201d Coronesi said.<\/p>\n<p>A month later, the 1.5-pound lobster named \u201cLuigi\u201d \u2014 after Coronesi\u2019s father \u2014 was given to the New York Aquarium on Coney Island, where he will become \u201can ambassador for his species.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For now, Luigi is in quarantine adapting to his new environment: a 100-gallon tank where he spends his days hiding behind rocks and feasting on oysters, clams, shrimp and scallops.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16394793\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"wp-image-16394793 size-nypost-large-desktop-uncropped lazyload\" alt=\"An orange lobster at Essex County Turtle Back Zoo\" width=\"662\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/orange-lobster-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/orange-lobster-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/orange-lobster-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/orange-lobster-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=662 662w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/orange-lobster-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1324 1324w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 662px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span>An orange lobster at Essex County Turtle Back Zoo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI want to make sure he is well-acclimated and doing his lobster thing,\u201d said Animal Programs director William Hana. \u201cI think he is going to start to molt pretty soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Toms River, N.J., a second orange lobster from Maine was discovered at a Stop &amp; Shop in late July.
