What Are Sea Monkeys?
9. Attracted to Light
Many species will try to keep away from the light if they can, choosing to remain in darkly lit areas instead. This is because being in the light will make them more visible and, hence, more likely to be spotted by predators. Not all animals are the same, however, and sea monkeys are actually attracted to the light.
If you turn the light on close to a tank holding sea monkeys, you will find that they will swim toward it. You are also likely to find that the sea monkeys will rise toward the surface of the water during the day time, returning to the bottom of the tank again when the sun goes down.
