No, coral larvae are not sessile; they are free-swimming during their early life stage. After a period of dispersal, they settle onto a suitable substrate and undergo metamorphosis to become sessile polyps, which then contribute to the growth of coral reefs. This transition is crucial for their survival and establishment in new environments.
