Pseudoplankton

Pseudoplankton: Pesudoplanktonic organisms are those that attach themselves to planktonic organisms or other floating objects, such as drifting wood, buoyant shells of organisms such as "Spirula", or man-made flotsam. Examples include goose barnacles and the bryozoan "Jellyella". By themselves these animals cannot float, which contrasts them with true planktonic organisms such as "Velella" and the Portuguese Man o' War, which are buoyant.
