Epibiont

An epibiont is an organism that lives on the surface of another living organism.

Typical epibionts are barnacles, remoras and algae, all of which live on many larger marine organisms, such as whales, sharks, sea turtles and mangroves. The host of the epibiont is typically referred to as the basibiont.
