Galaxy or gas cloud?

Really can't figure this out because of the odd shape. Kind of reminds me of a star birthing nebula.

Not a nebula, but a simulated galaxy. Not easy to classify. It could be many things.
See this in Featured Discussions Illustris Sept 2015 (classifying simulated galaxies.) https://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000001/discussions/DGZ0002eys

I would classify as disturbed spiral, but if there is a difference of opinion, it means that the galaxy doesn't easily fit into one category, and that is information in itself.
