We present the unique and challenging case of a radio galaxy in Abell 3266observed as part of the MeerKAT Galaxy Cluster Legacy Survey. It hasquasi-periodic bright patches along the tail which connect to never-before-seenthin transverse extensions, which we call `ribs', reaching up to approx. 50 kpcfrom the central axis of the tail. At a distance of approx. 400 kpc from thehost (assuming the z=0.0594 redshift of Abell 3266) we find what appears to bea triple source with its own apparent host at a photometric redshift of 0.78.Mysteriously, the part of the tail far from the host and the triple areconnected by a series of thin filaments, which we call "tethers." The far tail,tethers and triple also have similar spectra and Faraday rotation measures,suggesting that there is only one -- quite complicated -- source, with aserendipitous background AGN in the triple. We look at possible causes for the"rib" and "tether" structures, and the emerging phenomena of intraclustermedium filaments associated with radio galaxies.
