Studies of cluster galaxies are increasingly finding galaxies withspectacular one-sided tails of gas and young stars, suggestive of intenseram-pressure stripping. These so-called "jellyfish" galaxies typically havelate-type morphology. In this paper, we present MUSE observations of anelliptical galaxy in Abell 2670 with long tails of material visible in theoptical spectra, as well as blobs with tadpole-like morphology. The spectra inthe central part of the galaxy reveals a stellar component as well as ionizedgas. The stellar component does not have significant rotation, while theionized gas defines a clear star-forming gas disk. We argue, based on deepoptical images of the galaxy, that the gas was most likely acquired during apast wet merger. It is possible that the star-forming blobs are also remnantsof the merger. In addition, the direction and kinematics of the one-sidedionized tails, combined with the tadpole morphology of the star-forming blobs,strongly suggests that the system is undergoing ram pressure from theintracluster medium. In summary, this paper presents the discovery of apost-merger elliptical galaxy undergoing ram pressure stripping.
