How big can a brine shrimp get?

A friend in our office has a sealed glass egg shaped little glass sphere about the size of an apple. It once contained 2 brine shrimp, there is now only one. Algae grows in the sphere and the water level stays constant. Nothing can be added because it is sealed. This remaining shrimp is 5 years old if its a day. It could be even older. Maybe we have a Guinness Book of Records Brine Shrimp. Of course we can't prove it except for the testimony of the people that work in our office.
