Clusters of oysters and barnacles raised on an overboard surface. Every hard bottom of tropical waters is colonized in a short time by the mostly free-swimming larvae of various otherwise sessile organisms, and this is how such interesting communities can form. In a comparatively short time, the sea reclaims such anthropogenic input.
