The Big Orange Fish
An Ocean Safari diver carefully peeks over the reef to spy on a garibaldi, the California’s state marine fish. This bright orange fish is the largest member of the damselfish family, and also one of the few species that live in the temperate waters of California. During mating season, you have to approach them with caution. A male garibaldi guards the eggs very aggressively. They are known to attack anything and everything that swims too close to his nest.
