If it is a chimera, they're most likely not going to get any unique offspring from it, since chimerism (I guess that's a word) is just a random "accident" and not an inheritable trait. They might be able to eventually get some amelanistic lobsters from it though, if the orange half is fertile. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.
