Sea-Monkeys exist in suspended animation inside their tiny eggs for many years. They are a species of brine shrimp, known by the scientific name of Artemia NYOS, The Sea-Monkey's name is based on the creature's funny behavior and long tail. Sea-Monkeys grow up to be between 1/2 to 3/4 an inch in length during a 4 week period and last about 2 years
There is a video of them on this site

When I was a kid, a long time ago, you could order them from ads on the back of comic books. When they arrived, it was some type of material that swelled when water was added, probably a sponge, and they bobbed around in the water until my mom made me throw it out. As far as I know there really is no such thing......
