Hi, Sea Fans! Thanks for watching Mermaid Linden's Mermaid Minute Episode #17: GARIBALDI FISH! :) Please SUBSCRIBE so you always know about my NEW VIDEOS! Mermaid Minute is my ocean educational series for kids of all ages. My wish is to provide free ocean "edutainment" for anyone with access to a computer :) Let's learn about GARIBALDI FISH!! * The Garibaldi is the California State Marine Fish whose name comes from the Italian Patriot, Giuseppe Garibaldi, who wore bright red shirts. * Garibaldis only live from the California coast and down into Baja. * The Garibaldi is related to the damselfish and is the largest fish in the family at 15 inches. * Juveniles has brilliant blue spots that fade, and eventually as adults they're bright orange, with a tail shaped like a heart! * Their menu is small worms, anemones, nidibranchs and sea stars, to name a few. * Once a Garibaldi finds a reef, they live there for the rest of their lives, and they are known to bite and chase anything that gets too close to their nests! * A male Garibaldi cleans the reef to create a perfect nest for up to 20 females to lay eggs. * For the next several months, he will do his best to attract females by swimming in loops, and making noises with the teeth in his throat. * You know, Garibaldis remind me of those orange fish crackers, come to life! And that's a GARIBALDI in a MERMAID MINUTE!
