Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Too warm for nitrogen and methane frost and too small to hold them as an atmosphere: those ices escaped to space, leaving water ice.
Too warm for ice and too small to hold an atmosphere: the ice sublimated, leaving bare rock.
Inside the synchronous orbit: it spiraled inward and was torn apart at the Roche limit (Phobos's fate).
Inside the Roche limit (2.80 planet radii): torn apart into a ring system.
