I don't usually QT invertebrates but when I QT a watchman goby I placed a shallow bowl of sand in the QT tank. With a fighting conch you might be able to use a Tupperware to get a deep enough sand bed.

Not sure what to feed it, maybe Nori.

Just put 3 of them at once through QT rotating algae tabs and Nori once every 3-4 days. No sand and they were fine in a 20L for the entire duration.
