Nereid has a [[mass]] of 3.09 * 10<sup>19</sup> kg, the third greatest mass of the moons of Neptune. Its color is neutral-gray. Another moon of Neptune, [[Halimede]] (formerly S/2002 N 1), has the same neutral color, leading some astronomers to suggest that Halimede is a fragment of Nereid broken off in a collision with another, unknown object.<ref name=Grav2>Grav, T., Holman M.
