remnants of a merger ? or another galaxy that passed by ? (unlikely) or just weirdly curved single arm. Please see forum for any answer.

looking back at the DR8 graphs the only explanation I can see would be that other galaxy passing by and pulling the other's arm. #Starburst

The central galaxy is definitely disturbed. The most likely culprit is the galaxy at é. And they both have the same redshift.
