  • Sea Anemones: Sessile Life with a Somersault Surprise
    The organism that is primarily sessile but can move by somersaulting is the sea anemone.

    Sea anemones are cnidarians, related to jellyfish and corals. They typically attach themselves to rocks, coral, or other surfaces in the ocean. While they are mostly stationary, they can detach themselves from their substrate and move by somersaulting or by using their tentacles to crawl.
