![]() Sea Monkeys on MarsThe Mars Sea-Monkey tank is a dome-shaped tank resembling the surface of Mars and comes complete with everything you need for an out of this world adventure, including a Sea-Monkey spaceship! Perfect for Sea-Monkeys explorers!Sea-Monkeys are not really Monkeys but are called that because of their playful demeanor and the fact that they have tails! Sea-Monkeys are actually a hybrid species of brine shrimp called "Artemia NYOS". "Artemia" is the genus they belong to, which includes Fairy and Brine shrimp. NYOS is the acronym for the New York Ocean Science Laboratories where they were created. However, There are several differences between Sea-Monkeys and brine shrimp. Sea-Monkeys grow much larger, growing between 1/2" and 3/4" long and they live longer than ordinary brine shrimp. They are also a lot more active and can be taught to perform "tricks", unlike ordinary brine shrimp. You cannot find Sea-Monkeys in the Ocean, you will only find them in your Instant Life packet and Sea-Monkey tank! Brine shrimp live in salt lakes and salt flats, but your Sea-Monkeys are not brine shrimp. They belong to the same genus, "Artemia", but are completely different animals.
