DEFINITELY NOT IN HOT WATER — Kaleb Collins, the seafood captain/manager at Tops Friendly Markets in Manlius, holds a very rare orange lobster. The lobster, whose coloring makes him roughly one in 30 million, will have a new home at the Fort Rickey Discovery Zoo, 5135 Rome-New London Road, later this week. Collins said he received a shipment of lobsters for the July 4 rush and when he opened up the container he thought they had sent him a “cooked” lobster — only to find out the lobster was alive and well. Collins and store officials instantly made the determination to save the lobster, who has been named “Cheeto.” Cheeto will reside in a new tank, and a place of honor, at Fort Rickey.
