Galaxy Zoo Talk

Can someone explain what is going on here?

    Sorry if I'm asking this in the wrong place, but this is interesting. It looks to me like two other galaxies (at 3 o'clock and 7 o'clock) are orbiting the big one while bleeding off stars. They remind me of comets.

    Any astronomers care to comment on it?
