Win an amazing Sea-Monkeys Ocean Treasure Tank to hatch and grow your own instant pets!
Sea-Monkeys are a type of tiny brine shrimp created by scientists in the 1950s. These sci-fi creatures’ eggs are held in a kind of suspended animation called cryptobiosis until you activate them in your Sea-Monkeys aquarium using the kit provided with every tank.
Sea-Monkeys are an educational living science experiment that kids and adults have loved ever since they were created. Activating the eggs is a valuable opportunity to learn from seeing biology in action, and fascinating to watch for all ages. Once your Sea-Monkeys hatch you will be able to observe their full life cycle in real time, watching them grow as you feed them.
We have one Sea-Monkeys Ocean Treasure Tank to give away – will you be our lucky winner?!
