Question

Are sea monkeys the same as brine shrimp or are they difrent

Answer 1

Yes they are the exact same thing.  This was a marketing wonder decades ago.  Seamonkies.com

Answer 2

Sea-Monkeys are a trademark given to sell a variant of brine shrimp or Artemia salina, now called Artemia salina x nyos that originate in salt lakes and evaporation flats and are members of the phylum Arthropoda[1].

Answer 3

Yes, its just another name for them.

Answer 4

They're basically the same thing.  I think there may be a very slight difference.  Sort of like the difference between a cockapoo and a poodle.  Yeah, they're a little bit different, but when you get right down to it, they're both dogs!
