I just got a flashing tilefish. What do you think?

Just to be clear. It’s dead. Just trying to learn if this is something or normal with death.

That does not look like normal post-mortem changes.

With a freshly dead fish, giving it a 5 minute freshwater dip, and then looking through the settled water can sometimes show you if it had flukes, but you might need a hand lens or a microscope.

Agree, hard to tell on a dead fish but suspects as Jay stated are flukes but can also be bite marks before or after death
