SCP-8347-1
SCP-8347-2
SCP-8347-3
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8347-1's tank is to be cleaned of SCP-8347-1-A instances daily. SCP-8347-2 is to be given regular daily check-ups to have any food removed from its tank. SCP-8347-3 should be kept away from SCP-8347-1 and SCP-8347-2, and a screen should be placed in front of the tank to ensure SCP-8347-3 cannot see the latter anomalies. SCP-8347 will be housed in Maritime Site-11, wing-26, room 18. Any requests concerning SCP-8347 must be approved by Head Researcher Dr Calder.
Description: SCP-8347 is a collection of three anomalous sea creatures that came into Foundation custody after posts were uploaded to several social media platforms with pictures titled: Cake-loving Starfish1, Jellyfish Totem2, and Tone Deaf Octopus3. The pictures were permitted to stay online as their nature was harmless, but the anomalies were quickly contained.
SCP-8347-1 is a Yellow Tube Sponge Aplysina fistularis. SCP-8347-1 will generate between one and five individuals of SCP-8347-1-A, the Pelagia noctiluca jellyfish, each day in proximity to itself or SCP-8347-2 if no more room is available in its tank. These jellyfish are not anomalous and can be released into the wild or destroyed to prevent disruption of the ecological balance.
SCP-8347-2 is a Pink Sea Star Pisaster brevispinus SCP-8347-2 will, where and when possible, have food manifest inside its tank, most commonly pastries and anything with a high sugar content. This food is not anomalous but stolen from nearby; members of the Maritime Site-11 staff have reported their food being stolen.
SCP-8347-3 is a Common Octopus Octopus vulgaris. SCP-8347-3 will display distress by bumping its head against the tank wall and vocalize its happiness through an inharmonious whistling sound. SCP-8347-3's most common cause of distress is when it can see SCP-8347-1 and SCP-8347-2.
Maritime Site-11
To all staff, please eat all high-sugar foods before entering Site-11 to reduce the number of times SCP-8347-2's tank must be cleaned.
Do not place SCP-8347-1 and SCP-8347-2 close together, as this will strengthen their anomalous ability.
Keep SCP-8347-3 away from SCP-8347-1 and SCP-8347-2 and isolated. I don't want SCP-8347-3 to self-harm.
Additionally, if anyone has any information regarding the site's budgetary losses, please see me as soon as possible.
— Dr Calder, Maritime Site-11
Addendum: The following is a list of tests of SCP-8347, which were all carried out by Dr Calder. Staff are not permitted to interact with SCP-8347 unless they have gone through the necessary training first.
Test Logs: Part 1
Subject: SCP-8347-1
Protocol: Isolated observation.
Results: After two hours of continuous eyes on observation, SCP-8347-1 manifested a single instance of SCP-8347-1-A. After a further three hours, two more instances manifested. All removed after observation.
Subject: SCP-8347-2
Protocol: Isolated observation.
Results: Fifteen minutes into observation, a Cinnamon Doughnut belonging to Agent Bales manifests inside SCP-8347-2's tank and is partially consumed by SCP-8347-2 before it can be removed.
Subject: SCP-8347-3
Protocol: Isolated observation.
Results: SCP-8347-3 acted in accordance with its species and expressed its happiness through whistling, which, while being difficult to sit through for a sustained amount of time, was overall positive. SCP-8347-3 likes to seclude itself in the right-hand corner of the tank when not feeding.
Test Logs: Part 2
Subject: SCP-8347-1
Protocol: Group observation.
Results: No noticeable changes were immediately noticed. Upon SCP-8347-2 being moved closer to SCP-8347-1, the manifestations of SCP-8347-1-A instances are increased in both number and rapidity of production. Once SCP-8347-1's tank became too full, SCP-8347-1-A instances manifested in SCP-8347-2's tank, but never manifested in SCP-8347-3's tank, even when SCP-8347-2's tank became too full.
Subject: SCP-8347-2
Protocol: Group observation.
Results: During the same test of SCP-8347-1, SCP-8347-2's food-stealing property was also increased; the effective area seemingly doubled, if not tripled, as various high sugar food items manifested in SCP-8347-2's tank.
Subject: SCP-8347-3
Protocol: Group observation.
Results: SCP-8347-3 forced the group test to be cut short as it feared it could seriously harm itself or even self-terminate from self-inflicted and aggressive head bumping against its tank wall. Blinder was placed in front of SCP-8347-3's tank.
Memorandum: Maritime Site-11
To: All Staff of Martime Site-11
From: Dr Calder
Good afternoon. To all staff who will read this, please be on the lookout for a crab. All current crab SCPs are accounted for, so this appears to be a new entity. I would strongly suggest all staff take account of any loose money they may have on their person, in their rooms, or in clothes that are stowed away.
I say this because after coming back from room 18 of wing 26, I noticed the aforementioned crab leaving my office and holding a bundle of notes in its claws. The crab escaped because I checked my office first and noticed I had indeed lost all the money from my wallet.
SCP-8347-4
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8347-4 should be contained within a suitable enclosure and is to be permitted a single coin of any value for it to hold, as this has positive effects on its mood. Excess money should not be given to SCP-8347-4. Any attempts to retrieve money in SCP-8347-4's possession will result in highly aggressive behaviour..
Description: SCP-8347-4 is a Red Rock Crab, Cancer Productus and has a strong affinity with money, and this does not change per currency or value thereof.
SCP-8347-4 was located in a janitorial closet where a hole in the wall had been made. Further investigation into this hole revealed a total sum of roughly $48,000,000 had been stored. It is unknown for how long SCP-8347-4 has been elusive or how its anomalous properties help it to gather this much money.
