As a child I received some Sea Monkeys as a gift, after growing them for a couple of days I started to notice the number of individuals shrinking and the remaining Sea Monkeys growing quite large, eventually I was left with just one "Sea Monkey" that was almost an inch long. Turns out I'd been given Triops, cannibalistic crustaceans, not cute little harmless Sea Monkeys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triops_longicaudatus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triops_longicaudatus
