A garibaldi is a bright red-orange fish found along the coast of southern California and sometimes raised in aquariums. The garibaldi reaches a length of about 11 inches and is one of the largest kinds of damselfishes, a group of small fishes that usually live among coral reefs. Garibaldies feed on tiny animals and seaweed. Young garibaldies are orange with bright-blue spots, but they begin to develop the adult coloring when they are about 2½ inches long.
