What are the Large triops called?

What are the large sea creatures that look like triops called?

when should I start feeding my triops?

I recently got a scholastic sea creatures kit (grow your own triops) from a friend. On Saturday I put them in water at 24 degrees C, at around 6:00ish pm. I had the warm lamp on and everything was going fine, but my brother turned off the lamp after a couple hours when I was gone somewhere, and lamp was turned back on and set back to right temperature couple hours later. (It’s been good since) It is now Tuesday, and I was just wondering when I should start feeding them. I read on the box to feed them 1/4 of 2 crushed up food pellets on the fourth day… so would that be counting Saturday or not… do I feed them today or tomorrow? I only have 2 triops that hatched since then… thanks in advance! -Cheesey

Help With Triops(little sea creatures)?

Um, so i bought these triops for my son. The instruction manual says they need spring water to survive. We dont have any bottled water right now and my son is very excited to get these eggs in. Could I boil water and then use that? Or will that kill the Triops? Help would be nice.
