They ARE brine shrimp. They are a hybrid OF brine shrimp. But they are still brine shrimp. Just they live longer and are bigger.

Yes, they are brine shrimp. Cut and paste from the link you provided, which you clearly didn't read too well. Color added for emphasis.

Are they Brine Shrimp?
Sea-Monkeys® are a unique species of brine shrimp, known by the scientific name of Artemia NYOS. We not only unlocked the most elusive secrets of their life cycle, we created new formulas to keep them alive under conditions found in the average home—an accomplishment never before achieved! Finally, after years of crossbreeding, we developed a hybrid. These amazing new hybrids grow larger and live longer than any "natural" variety of brine shrimp. Resulting from the most exquisitely sophisticated “aquaculture technology”, by true pioneers in this science, only the utmost resources of a leading marine biological research center working for a span of many years has made this project a complete success.

Fine whatever but, they are a hybrid not a pure brine shrimp.

Well they are invertebrates so I thought I'd start a thread on them.

I used to go the beach and catch crabs and such with my friends. And sea monkeys. There was a lot of them. They got big. and tasty. Nothing like fresh sea monkeys to wake you up. mm.
