Perun's Purple People Eater Palythoa"The Legend Grows"
I obtained this colony by chance in or around 2001. In addition I have a matching zoanthids colony, as to where I believe this to be Palythoa or Protopalythoa. After about 1 year the specimen began coloring up and I sold off about 15 Palythoa fragments for $25-$35 bucks each,ironically most of these people complained about the piece when they got it.
The colony at that time still was not mature, not reaching it's full beauty. The following year I sold Palythoa propagation's for about $40 bucks and people were outraged, So I stopped but soon saw them selling on ebay for about $200. I thought if people would pay that much I'm going to put what I have to good use. I had always dreamed of sponsoring 100 children through CCF. As a youngster my family sponsored this organization as long as I could remember. Now as an adult I want to follow in the footsteps of my parents. Being these came from somewhere in Indonesia I have chose to concentrate the sponsorship efforts there.
Perun's Palythoa Purple People Eater Fund Drive 2003
In 2003, I donated a portion of each person's shipping bill to a charity that I had supported for over a year now. Christian Children's Fund sponsors children all around the world. The total for the single month fund drive generated enough to sponsor two children for an entire year. As i receive information from CCF I will post to this page so you can read about Admin and Maria. I hope to run a different fund drive each quarter, so if you involved with a charity please contact me.
Perun's Palythoa Purple People Eater Fund Drive 2004
In 2004, I ran a fund drive that revolved around the Perun's Purple People Eater. Palythoa Stage one was selling raffle tickets (winning number 3161) at store level and phase two was an Ebay auction. The total cash raised will sponsor 7 children for one year. Both EBay High bidder's companies matched the donation to CCF. Originally we though this could be funneled to support the children but afterwards learned it had to be a blanket donation. At any rate the 2004 Palythoa Fund Drive was a great success

Just like Jimmy Buffet sings, you've got "Sharks to the left, sharks to the right" but you're safe inside a 100-foot long, clear tunnel that cuts through more than 6 million gallons of 30-feet deep saltwater, home to sharp-toothed sharks, schools ...

I used to wonder why anyone would dine in expensive themed chain restaurants like Aquarium, which teems with families shelling out for mediocre chicken ?ngers and souvenir plush toys. Then I had kids of my own.
