[10] This object has a morphological classification of SA(r)ab,[6] which indicates an unbarred spiral galaxy (SA) with a prominent ring structure (r) and flocculent,[11] tightly wound spiral arms (ab).

[6] The galactic nucleus is not active[2] and the large nuclear bulge, which extends out to an angular radius of 0.4′,[12] is relatively gas free.

[6] Although star formation is taking place in the dusty outer ring,[12] NGC 2775 does not display any current starburst activity,[13] and the galactic nucleus is virtually free of any star formation whatsoever.

[11] The galaxy's hydrogen tail feature indicates a past interaction with a faint companion.

[6] A satellite galaxy appears to have orbited NGC 2775 multiple times, losing mass as it does so and creating faint, shell-like structures.
