Garibaldi Attacks ! Southern California - Warning!

Swimming with these Garibaldi for years had no idea the power and the strike that was in them over peas... Peas are great food Love them, Don't know if full on Bezerk is the way to go to get some! my mind said for footage I'll feed some! did not know getting swarmed on by a ton of orange fish would be the outcome, Insane! So don't feed the fish! especially Peas! Now the big fish had teeth, he gave me a sea pass! thank you big fish! Don't swim alone with peas in your pocket, Geez!
The Garibaldi or Garibaldi damselfish (Hypsypops rubicundus) is a species of bright orange fish in the damselfish family. Garibaldis occur in the subtropical northeastern part of the Pacific Ocean. The common name is a reference to the Italian military and political figure Giuseppe Garibaldi, whose followers often wore a characteristic scarlet or red shirt. As is the case in all damselfish, male Garibaldis aggressively defend the nest site after the female lays eggs.
Adult fish in this species are orange in color. They are the largest member of the damselfish family and can grow up to 38 cm (15 in) in length. Juveniles are more reddish, and have many small iridescent blue spots, which they lose as they become adult. Adult Garibaldis also have a more opaque tail and dorsal fin.
Garibaldis feed mainly on invertebrates,[2] which they remove from the rocks. Like most damselfish, adult Garibaldis maintain a home territory.[2] The male clears a sheltered nest site within his territory; the female then deposits eggs within the nest. The male guards the nest area until the eggs hatch, which takes 19-21 days. During the time period that the eggs are developing, the male Garibaldi aggressively tries to keep all other fish away from the (very edible) eggs, and will boldly attack much larger swimming creatures, including humans, to the point of biting divers in order to try to drive them away from the area where the eggs are deposited.

[@marthaamador8595]

I knew it was around Loyolla I’ve swam there with the Garbaildi and fed them peas once, also I’ve been swimming with the leopard sharks, but sadly not when the pups were around. My dad told me the pups are so curious they just swarm you, but if you try to touch them they swimmaway.

[@ShawnWhiteBMX]

yes they do, great spot to swim
