Just got my first fish 2 weeks ago and I got a conch to clean up food leftovers. He is a tiger conch and when I went to check on the tank today he is halfway up the side. Is this normal or is something wrong?

normal when there is a lack of food in the tank(seems the tank is VERY new). make sure to get some nori, or sinking algae waffers. it is likely hungry.
