All Cnidarians are mobile at some point in their lifetime. For most, it is in the larval stage. Jellyfish start out as mobile larva, then become sessile, then become the mobile jellyfish you are familiar with. Others, like corals, start out as mobile larva, settle down and remain sessile for the rest of their adult life. As adults, hydra can be mobile or sessile, as they choose, but they don't swim far.

Is echinoderms sessile or mobile?

Echinoderms, a group that includes starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers, exhibit a range of mobility. While many species, like sea stars, can move slowly using tube feet, others, such as sea cucumbers, can be more sedentary but are not completely sessile. Some echinoderms, like certain sea lilies, are largely attached to the substrate and display a sessile lifestyle. Overall, echinoderms can be both mobile and, to a lesser extent, sessile, depending on the species.
