No SDSS spectrum?

    I wanted to look at the interactive spectrum for this galaxy, but I don't see that option in SDSS. Is that data not always available?

    Not every galaxy or star will have a a spectrum associated with it 😃

    if there is not one listed on SkyServer, it is highly unlikely there was one taken. You could also try looking on NED / SIMBAD, or searching via SAO / NASA ADS database to see if the object is referenced in any journals / articles.

    There is one on NED for this galaxy:
