The picture is rather small...How did the piece of shell fall off like that?

I can't tell what, if anything is exposed (looks like something is, though). Is there any bleeding? I would tank the turtle to a herp vet immediately.

You need to get him to a herp vet ASAP. Keep the water super clean and it might be helpful to separate the other turtle from him until he's better.

But you really need to get him to a vet immediately.

He has probably went into shock from the injury. Bump up the temp of his water a couple of degrees.
