I got a L330 watermelon pleco today and it has significant teeth. I hear it grinding on the side of my tank wall with its teeth and I can hear it. That bad for the pleco? Thanks

Its bad for acrylic aquariums I would suggest adding driftwood to the aquarium if you have not already done so.

Yep, plecos like fiber in their diet. Driftwood in the tank is a necessity for optimum health

I already have a good deal of drift wood in tank. What should I do? Just got him today so maybe he is adjusting?

You didn't say if your tank is acrylic or glass.
It's definitely not a problem with a glass tank- neither for the pleco, nor for the aquarium
