Square ring?

by QuasiByte
I'm new to Galaxy Zoo and this is just one of my first galaxies I analyze but I was wondering about that odd square ring around it... Never seen such a thing, is this common? Couldn't find anything on google about it...

As this is a simulated galaxy from Illustris, some unusual shapes (for a galaxy) might occur. I've never seen a square ringed galaxy either and it seems unlikely any exist, though someone might remember one from back in the day.

Looking at the SDSS image again does stir a memory. A rectangular galaxy no less. Thanks Liz, seasons' greetings.

On the other hand, it is a very fuzzy image !
