Maroon Clown problem

I just noticed that one of my Maroon clowns looks like it has a huge goiter under it's gill and chin. Doesn't look like an injury, more like some type of infection. The other one is fine.

I'd love to post a pic but the damn fish is allusive! The area is definitely swollen and discolored, a whitish color. Besides that, the fish seems to be eating and behaving normally.

Any idea on what this could be?

yeah, I guess you could say it looks like mold. This fish has been a little bit off since I brought them home months ago.

well I looked up brook, doesn't match the symptoms. Fish is doing great besides the great big goiter.

Here is a crappy pic. Of course the eel decides to clean house right before I shoot. It's the best I could get. Check out under his gill.
