So I checked this galaxy's neighbourhood. See if any other green objects pop up. I found one at: 358.5761, -1.2175
And this is the Skyserver Image, there is a very faint object in the center of the image. But the green dot is not in it. A glitch?

I am not familiar with DECaLS images. Maybe someone can explain what does green dots signify.

Frankly, anything
Starting from artefact, ending with asteroid

Looks like an asteroid to me. There's no sign of it in the other bands (a supernova would show up in all of them, depending on the timing) and the shape is rounder than normally seen in artifacts.
