It was the catch of the day for a fish at the Virginia Living Museum.

When a young guest dropped a pacifier in the museum's Cypress Swamp exhibit earlier this week, an albino catfish caught it and began sucking on it, WTVR reported.

Museum staff members were able to retrieve the pacifier and returned it to the family of the guest, but they managed to take a photograph before reclaiming it, WTVR reported.
