Both planarians and nemertean worms are invertebrates that capture prey using protrusible tubes. Specifically, planarians use their pharynx and nemerteans use their proboscis to push out and retract a tube that can capture prey, with both tubes having a similar function. While their digestive systems differ in other ways, such as planarians lacking a complete digestive tract, their mouths and protrusible prey-capturing tubes are analogous structures that demonstrate their shared predatory behavior.
