The common name "moss animals" is the literal meaning of "Bryozoa", from Greek βρυόν ('moss') and ζῷα ('animals'), based on the mossy appearance of encrusting species. [60] Until 2008 there were "inadequately known and misunderstood type species belonging to the Cyclostome Bryozoan family Oncousoeciidae."
Fenestella is a genus of bryozoans or moss animals, forming fan–shaped colonies with a netted appearance. It is known from the Middle Ordovician to the early Upper Triassic , reaching its largest diversity during the Carboniferous. Many hundreds of species have been described from marine sediments all over the world.

[1] These species, as their name suggests, are unique in the Bryozoan phylum, as they are single organisms, rather than colonies. (Monobryozoon is Greek for "Alone Moss Animal")

Bryozoans and other animals that settle on hard surfaces compete for space. In an experiment near Plymouth, England, plexiglass panels were submerged at a depth of around 8 m (26 ft). These were soon covered in organisms; early settlers were various bryozoans including Chorizopora brongniartii, and the tube-building worm Pomatoceros triqueter.
