An FR II HEG radio source, hosted by a disturbed elliptical, with a SE tidal tail toward its most prominent companion 4 arcsec SE. Several fainter companions are also visible on the NICMOS chip. In the optical, the source has a disky appearance and double nucleus, owing to this same tidal tail and associated dust lanes.
