immobile organism such as corrals and barnacles
Terrestrial animals cannot be sessile because they live on land. Sessile animals are aquatic and live in the water. +++ That's no the definition of "sessile". A sessile organism is one that anchors itself to one place for its life, or most of its life. Most do live in water but by no means all aquatic animals are sessile. Fish are not!
Sessile animals, such as corals and barnacles, often rely on filter feeding to capture plankton and other small particles from the water around them. Some sessile animals also have symbiotic relationships with algae or bacteria that provide them with nutrients through photosynthesis or other metabolic processes.
Most producers are sessile, meaning they are stationary and do not move from one place to another. This includes plants, algae, and some types of bacteria. These organisms generally rely on other means, such as wind, water, or animals, to disperse their spores or seeds for reproduction.
"Motile" refers to organisms that are capable of movement, such as animals and some single-celled organisms. "Sessile" refers to organisms that are fixed in one place and do not move, such as plants and some types of animals like sponges.
The term is sessile (pronounced SES ul)
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.

Sessile means nonmotile. Animals in this category include reef-building corals, mollusks, barnacles, and sponges. On land, scale insects mature as sessile animals.

Plants and fungi are examples of sessile kingdoms, as they are organisms that are rooted in place and do not move from where they are anchored. They rely on external means, such as wind or animals, for seed dispersal.
The definition of sessile is something that is attached at the base, like the leaf that is attached by stem to a branch... Do you mean noturnal?
The type of animals that are typically absent in a soft bottom subtidal community are sessile. A sessile animal is not able to move and is permanently attached to something solid.
An adult feather star is not sessile. It eventually develops arms and is able to move around. Sea lilies are sessile.
a hydra as a polyp is not sessile but when it grows to be a hydra it is sessile
