Got 2 of these conchs a week ago. With ones in the past I've ever had one venture off the sandbed, farthest I've seen them reach is wherever their trunk can get while still planted in the sand.

One of these guys didnt get the memo. Must know where the good stuff is

Nobody ever said that. :) They are looking for something to eat.

That tank looks pretty new and clean. You better feed those or else they will likely die. Give them a meaty treat.
It is only a few months old. I did add 30 lbs of Florida liverock so has lots of algae on that, spreading to the other rocks pretty quick.
 
Feed it. It is climbing because it is starving. Most tanks don't have enough worms and stuff in the sand to keep a conch alive for more than a year.
