PGC 2456 known as KAZ 364 and JO201, is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Cetus.[1][2] A member of Abell 85 galaxy cluster, it is located 617 million light-years away from the solar system and is considered a jellyfish galaxy due to the fact the tendrils are seen drifting downwards from its core.[3] This mainly occurs when such galaxies like PGC 2456, moves through high speeds across the galaxy clusters, causing ram pressure to stripped gas, thus forming tendrils full of star formation.[3][4] It is listed as a Seyfert galaxy by SIMBAD, meaning it has an active galactic nucleus.[2] PGC 2456 lies 360 kiloparsecs from the brightest cluster galaxy, Holmberg 15A.[5]
