1. Anyone who has been successful with a reef aquarium will agree that most sessile invertebrates such as colonial anemones, soft corals and sponges will soon start to colonise the aquarium under the right conditions.
2. Thus were explained anatomically the enormous jaws, high cheek bones, prominent superciliary arches, solitary lines on the palms, extreme size of the orbits, handle-shaped or sessile ears found in criminals, savages and apes, insensibility of pain, extremely acute sight, tattooing, excessive idleness, love of orgies and the irresistible craving for evil for its own sake
3. Similar associations occur between fish/mobile invertebrates and other sessile invertebrates, notably the diadema sea urchin which provides protection to fish fry with its long sharp spines.
4. One of the most interesting and sometimes infuriating facets of running a reef aquarium is the apparently spontaneous appearance of various organisms which enter the tank either as larval forms or hidden in living rock or the bases of sessile invertebrates.
5. Conversely there are herbivore grazers, of which parrotfish are a typical example, which inadvertently graze upon sessile invertebrates when cropping algae from coral rock.
6. In just promoting ideal conditions in the reef aquarium for sessile invertebrates, such subjects as anemones and soft corals can reward you by reproducing asexually either by polyp division or budding.
7. Furthermore, there is opportunity for multicellular plants to grow, firmly anchored to the rocks, but still exposed to the light; and many animals - sessile mussels and barnacles; anemones, which are almost sessile; and animals that are only modest movers, such as starfish, winkles, and limpets - find a handy substrate and convenient grazing.
8. Many Sussex heathlands have become invaded by woodland, the silver birch and Scots pine predominating with rhododendron ( Rhododendron ponticum ) being common, and at a later stage sessile oak becomes dominant.
9. The dominant tree in the High Weald where there are clay soils is also the pedunculate oak, but where sandy soils predominate the sessile oak ( Quercus petraea ) is well represented.
10. Animals that do this include fish such as the cod, which of course are highly mobile even as adults; crustacea such as crabs and lobsters; echinoderms such as sea urchins; gastropod molluscs such as winkles, which are mobile as adults but are not able to travel huge distances; and also - crucially - most of the animals which are sessile as adults - that is, remain immobile in one place.
11. Lighting and water movement are also important to feeding because they influence the way many relatively-immobile sessile marine invertebrates gain their nutritional requirements.
12. Indeed, the main thing that the reef-building creatures have in common is that they are sessile, and produce limestone skeletons, and when they die, the skeletons stay behind.
