I got my snail last week and I have a fair amount of algae on the side of my aquarium and he hasn't even touched it yet. He seems to be barried the majority of the time or hidden somewhere. Does he just not like the algae or wut?

Snails are not a solution to algae. While they do feed on it, it's not the only thing they eat. Controlling the nutrients that feed the algae is a much better option.
