I have no experience in astronomy, but i didn't see this type before. What is this?

Very complicated! 54 refs in NED. Looks like a galaxy merger, with 2 nuclei, the only spiral arm looks like a nuclear ring forming lots of stars,

Possibly a merger? Seems like there is a lot of disruption and that the nuclei have not aggregated yet.

#disturbed galaxy arms seem flipped over by full #merger event or close call. Some triggered #starforming activity and plenty of #dustlane

There seems to be a large dust cloud below the galaxy, which probably contributes to making the galaxy reddish.
