About the Garibaldi
The Garibaldi (Hypsypops rubicundus), known historically as the Catalina goldfish and marine goldfish and now commonly as the Garibaldi damselfish, is a species of bright orange fish in the damselfish family. It occurs in the subtropical northeastern part of the Pacific Ocean. The Garibaldi was named the official marine state fish of California in 1995, and has since been protected in California coastal waters from recreation and commercial fishing.
The English name is a reference to the 19th-century Italian general and political figure Giuseppe Garibaldi, whose followers often wore a characteristic scarlet or red shirt. Male Garibaldis aggressively defend the nest site after the female lays eggs, as is the case with other damselfish.
