Not sure if this is normal or not but mine do the same. And sometimes one in particular will actually look as though he is stuck to the glass and cannot get down but wants too. His body is stretching out of his shell like a piece of bubble gum all strung out. Its weird at first I thought he was sick or something but he has since made it down to the sand and continues to scan the tank for food. I call him sling shot.
