We report spectroscopic observations of the M31 transient and nova candidate TCP J00403295+4034387 discovered on 2011 Nov. 14.538 by K. Nishiyama and F. Kabashima at m=18.3 (unfiltered). At our request, a spectrum (410-900 nm) was obtained by S. Odewahn on 2011 Nov. 30.23 UT with the 9.2m Hobby-Eberly Telescope (+ Marcario Low-Resolution Spectrograph). The spectrum is characterized by an unusual energy distribution: a blue continuum that rises shortward of λ 570 nm, with a red component dominating at longer wavelengths.
