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.
