The Garibaldi is well known for their brilliant orange color. They grow to about 12 inches (30 cm) long. They live at depths of up to 100 feet (30 m), usually in reefs and over rocky sea-bottoms.

The Garibaldi or Garibaldi damselfish is a fish that is native to the northern subtropical parts of the Pacific Ocean.

Garibaldi are found in a small region of North America off the Southern California coast. They are brilliant orange in color. The male prepares the nest and guards the eggs until they hatch.

If you disturb a Garibaldi they emit a thumping sound that divers can hear.

Young Garibaldi are reddish brown with bright blue iridescent spots and stripes that disappear when they are adults.

Garibaldis are renowned for their brilliant orange color.

The Garibaldi is the official "marine fish" of the state of California and is protected in California coastal waters.

The Garibaldi has the ability to change its sex to balance the number of females to males, and can do this multiple times as needed.

The Garibaldi ranges from Monterey Bay to Guadalupe Island, Baja California.
