It is found in the [[Subtropics|subtropical]] northeastern part of the Pacific Ocean. The English name, Garibaldi, is based on an Italian surname and is a reference to the Italian general and political figure [[Giuseppe Garibaldi]], whose followers often wore a characteristic [[Scarlet (color)|scarlet]] or [[Redshirts (Italy)|red shirt]]. As is the case in all damselfish, male Garibaldis aggressively defend the nest site after the female lays eggs. ==Description== Adult fish in this species are orange in color. It is the largest member of the [[damselfish]] family and can grow up to {{convert|38|cm|in|abbr=on}} in length. Young ones are more reddish, and have many small iridescent (glowing, reflective) blue spots, which they lose as they become adult. Adult Garibaldis also have a more opaque tail and dorsal fin. The Garibaldi is the official marine [[List of U.S. state fish|state fish]] of California and is protected in Californian coastal waters.<ref>[https://www.library.ca.gov/california-history/state-symbols/#tab-mf California State Librar
