Though not immediately dangerous, minimal physical contact between secretions of SCP-171 and its hosts are to be observed.
All communications between hosts and researchers are to be recorded and transcribed.
Human hosts are to be fed a vegan diet of their choosing.
Other animal hosts are to be fed appropriately.
Fresh seawater is to be cycled into its tank regularly.
SCP-171 is a web-like matrix of small, fine tendrils of neurons, mucus glands, and muscle fibers suspended in a frothy foam of its own creation.
It is not capable of self-locomotion and does not actively attack or feed on other living organisms.
Rather, it attempts to form a symbiotic relationship with all organisms it comes into contact with.
Flagella of the muscle surrounding the neural fibers work mucus, sea salt, water, and other secretions into bubbles, forming a large foam support.
Any creature that spends a significant amount of time in contact with the matrix of SCP-171 risks becoming integrated into a collective consciousness sustained by it.
People who become covered in SCP-171 foam describe experiencing a tingly or tickly sensation which researchers have observed as threads of SCP-171 tunneling through the skin to directly integrate into the subject's nervous system In time, the simple motor neurons of subjects are expanded into an elaborate, two-way positive communication nexus, allowing the brains of hosts to communicate with each other and the entity of SCP-171.
Over time, the individuality of subjects are incorporated into and shared with others of the SCP-171 matrix, resulting in a collective consciousness in which individual personalities are non-existent.
