Hey Reef2Reef,

I had 2 RTBA in my tank and I woke up the other day to 3, all three looked like they were doing fine until I woke up this morning and I see one close to the top. It doesn't seem to be doing well while the other two are doing normal.

Can someone explain to me what is going on, or if I need to take it out?

I've attached some pictures for reference.

A fresh split can take a few days to heal up and will often wander around to find a new happy place. It's far from needing removal, but keep an eye on it.
 
Thank you for your response! I was freaking out :)
 
The fact that this nem has climbed to the top suggests there is insuficient light and/or water flow
