Sessile epifauna consists of organisms that attach themselves to a substrate and live on the surface of the seabed or other underwater structures. Examples include barnacles, mussels, and various types of sponges and corals. These organisms play an important role in the marine ecosystem by providing habitat for other species and helping to filter the surrounding water.

The opposite of sessile is motile. Motile organisms are able to move or change position on their own, as opposed to sessile organisms which are fixed in one place.
A leaf without a petiole is called a sessile leaf.

A sessile organism is one that is attached to a surface and does not move from place to place. These organisms are typically found in marine environments and include corals, barnacles, and some types of sponges. Sessile organisms rely on food and nutrients brought to them by water currents.

Most sessile animals are of the phylum Mollusca.
Sessile organisms are immobile. So. I can't think of any animals. But plants are sessile. Edit: Corals (related to anenomes) and sponges are good examples of sessile animals, the latter has a motile larval stage before it settles on a substrate and becomes sessile.
A barnacle could be described as being sessile.
