Garabaldi damsel

[Sharkbait74]

Thinking about getting one of these but havent found much info on them other than that they get big.Are they reef safe and will they be ok with my clown,midas blenny and fairy wrasse.Tank size is 125 gallon reef with lots of shimps and crabs

I have never had one but I have read they get up to a foot in the wild and are pretty aggressive, even reported to attack surfers. That last part may just be urban legend though.

A foot long damsel in any situation sounds like a horrible idea to me

They are cold water fish and are usually found in the kelp forests. For a damsel, they do get fairly large and are most likely very aggressive. I would not put them with any inverts or small fish. Plus they need a big tank.

I was just reading about them in Scott Micheal's book on sw fish...they get big and extreamly aggressive...you will most likely end up with just one fish in the tank, the garibaldi.

+1, unless you have some other BIG, aggressive fish.
