I vote deformation. Happens sometimes during the egg incubation stage (at least it does in salmon), doesn't affect respiration or health, just aesthetics. In the breeding world I would imagine its one of the more prevalent deformations, not enough of a problem to keep the fish from growing as normal (whereas a lot of other deformations affect growth or the fish are culled). Keep an eye on it but I doubt its a big deal.
