Well, they float so naturally attaching themselves to something heavy would keep them from floating away from the biomes they like to live in. Like the grassy plateaus, or safe shallows.

I don't know if they could eat stone, or if that would even provide them with any nutrition, but I suppose it's possible. Personally I think they're more like real life limpets or maybe sea urchins, attaching themselves to something and scraping algae and other foods from it. Or maybe they're like corals, in that they have a symbiotic relationship with another organism that makes its own food to provide for both organisms.

As for the Giant floaters, these things could be capable of super long life spans, and they could possibly keep growing throughout their life. So the giant floaters attached to the island are just incredibly old and resilient.

Those are just my theories though, the devs might add to the pda entry to answer some of these questions
