Green, but the peaks for oxygen seem pretty small, either HII or NII (can't tell which) seems much higher . . .

Frozen pea? It sure looks cold with that big lump of ice on the side  :D

The spectrum is for the pea, not the blue (ice) galaxy. SDSS says the pea is a star, but it has a z of 0.037 with a conf of 0.9, so shurley shome mishtake ....

I think the middle line is H-alpha, so it would be that then.
PrimTarget says TARGET_QSO_HIZ, but then again zWarning says NOT_QSO. So I guess it's a quasar. But not.  :-\
Not sure what the _HIZ-part of the PrimTarget flag means (high z?). I tried finding a list of the flags, but failed miserably.

I think helioprogenus might have found the nearest pea we have atm:
NED lists it as "peculiar HII galaxy", but I see some strange OIII peaks in the spectrum ?!?

   
What's this strange, but beautiful bluish galaxy?
I'm not quite sure of what to make of this galaxy but it sure is pretty.

@ rinscewind :
Sorry to say, but both are not "peas" - they don't have strong OII/OIII-emission lines, but look like rather ordinary galaxies. (Ok, one is a xray, the other a radio source, but nothing special concerning emission lines as far as I can see ...
