Our baby giant sea bass has a new roommate…a baby garibaldi!
Garibaldi are famous for two things: They’re a shock of bright orange mingling with the more muted colors of the kelp forest, and they’re a tiny fish with a big attitude. Consider, for contrast, the gentle giant sea bass. These behemoths can grow up to 500 pounds but are so friendly that our aquarists can feed them by hand. Garibaldis, meanwhile, only weigh in at around two pounds, but have been known to charge at aquarists for getting too close to their territories!
Garibaldi aggression may be the reason juveniles have those pretty neon blue markings. It’s thought that this special coloration says to adults “Hey, I’m just a clueless kid! I’m not trying to hone in on your turf.”
You can see this beautiful baby and the juvenile giant sea bass spreading their fins in the bubble tank near the touch pool on the 2nd floor of the Kelp Forest exhibit.
The bright blue spots of the juvenile Garibaldi let adults know that it's not a rival for territory. Aggressive and territorial, Garibaldis have even been known to charge aquarists diving in our Kelp Forest exhibit! Learn more about this "fish with attitude"
