That I don't know. I saw these at an aquarium in Cape Cod today. Apparently the bicolor is more like 1 in 50 million (the display said 200). More to research

Apparently it’s called gendramorphy where the chromosome development early on in embryonic development doesn’t happen correctly leading to one side having male sex organs and the other side having female. But it isn’t always the case that bicolored lobsters are gendramorphs, however it can be a sign of it.

Aren’t the bicolored ones chimeras and/or also hermaphroditic?
