I know it's rare but we caught a lingcod with blue skin a while ago and I just wanted to ask wtf made it this way?

>The cause of this rare turquoise color is due to a bile pigment called biliverdin, which is responsible for turning the blood serum of these fish that freakishly odd color – but how this pigment gets into the tissues and flesh of the fish, or why only some lingcod turn this striking shade, still leaves biologists puzzled. Biliverdin is also the pigment that is responsible for that greenish color sometimes seen in bruises.

That's pretty cool. Any more examples of rare color variants in nature? (aside of course from albinism, which is neither cool nor cool looking)
