This species is considered not to be a migratory species. The maximum recorded length of S. flamma as an unsexed male is about 30.5 centimeters or about 12 inches. The diet of the Saurida falmma includes small fishes. [3] This species is native to the areas of Eastern Central Pacific, Hawaii, or Polynesia. [4] They are recorded to be bottom-dwellers that have large appetites. [5] This species serves as no threat or harm to humans.
