semen is delivered from a tube that exits the hyponome (which really has no membrane separating it from the innards) and is guided via a tentacle to the female's hyponome, and the sperm is deposited inside of her. She can then fertilize the eggs at her leisure, once she has found a suitable cave to lay them in. She'll usually eat a whole lot before that, so she can stay with the eggs until they hatch, never sleeping, never eating, never leaving the nest. She dies shortly after they hatch.
