It dwells at a depth range of 10 to 30 m (33 to 98 ft). [4] It reaches a maximum total length of 70.6 cm (27.8 in), more commonly reaching a TL of 30 cm (12 in). [3]
The chili sea catfish feeds on fish scales. [5] It is currently ranked as Least Concern by the IUCN redlist, although its importance to commercial fisheries is cited as a possible threat to its population. [4] Its meat is marketed fresh. [3]
