Captail worms are partially segmented worms whose tails end in ornately designed cocoon-like structures. The males wave these structures around high above the seafloor in the hopes of catching the attention of females, which lack the structure. A receptive female will take a cocoon and deposit her eggs in it as the male fertilizes them. The male will then close the cocoon and bury it where the young can develop in safety.
