Sea-Monkeys

Rare card · No. 37689

Sea-Monkeys is a marketing term for brine shrimp (Artemia) sold as novelty aquarium pets. Developed in the United States in 1957 by Harold von Braunhut and sold under the Sea-Monkeys name from 1962, they are supplied as eggs intended to be added to water, and most often come bundled in a kit of three pouches and instructions. Sometimes a small tank and additional pouches are included. The product was marketed in the 1960s and 1970s, especially in comic books, and remains a presence in popular culture.
