Garibaldi Damselfish
(Hypsypops rubicundus)
One of the most vibrant fish we’ve ever come across. California’s state fish and protected in most of it’s range which is from the Baja to Monterey Bay. You’re HIGHLY unlikely to encounter this species in the hobby but if you do, it’s husbandry is difficult unless you have a dedicated aquarium, good osculating powerheads for current, a reliable chiller setup, and plastic kelp decorations that sway.
