Garabaldi  Hypsypops rubicundus

Hi all, been quite a while since I've posted here, just got back from a work trip to California and I was able to squeeze in a diving trip to Catalina Island on the side, one of the prominent fish in the kelp forests around Catalina Island is the Garabaldi fish, a species of damselfish.  They are quite fearless and have been known to attack divers to drive them out of nesting territory.  They grow to around 300mm long or so.

Whoa, it's been a very long time since we've seen an underwater/marine life image.

Well done, Chris.

Wonderful color and clarity! Love the deep blues in the water too. The background fish add interest.

They will bite you ! The juveniles are amazingly beautiful as well.
Nice shot Chris, excellent control of the strobes.
