"I was counting out a few prawns and fish and I grabbed a handful prawns, and at first I thought there were two stuck together and then realised it was a prawn with two heads," Colton told ABC News.
Colton checked if the one of the prawns was caught in the middle of the other prawn's moult. Moulting is when the invertebrate sheds its exoskeleton to form a new one. Turns out that wasn't the case.
"It wasn't that either so if you had a look at the animal, there's two guts in there, even two sets of legs coming from the front part as well, so it's definitely two heads," she told the news outlet.
The prawn has been preserved at the aquarium, where it will undergo genetic testing by a professor at James Cook University to determine why the prawn has two heads.
There is no doubt, however, that the animal is rather creepy.
