Garibaldis are renowned for their
brilliant orange color and grow
up to 30 cm in length.
They live at depths of up to 30
meters, usually in association with
reefs and typically over rocky sea-bottoms.
An interesting feature of the Garabaldi
is the ability to change its sex
throughout its lifetime.
When disturbed, a garibaldi emits
a thumping sound that divers can
hear.
The name "garibaldi"
comes from the Italian Army leader,
Giuseppe Garibaldi, whose forces
wore bright red shirts.
