Pink Growth on Blue-Spotted Jawfish - Anyone Know What This Is?

[sgrosenb]

I ordered this from the Diver's Den on Live Aquaria, and usually their fish are pristine. However, this Jawfish has this pinkish growth on it's body (it's on the body, not on the gill or fin like it may seem by the pictures). Can anyone identify what this may be? See pics below:

Thanks for the help!

Try posting this in the reef fish forum. You'll get more hits. I'm not sure what it is.

Could just be an injury from shipping.
