As title states, I'm looking to quarantine a strawberry conch to rule out any parasites. Can the conch survive entirely on supplement feedings?

I have algae wafers, nori sheets, and a variety of frozen and pellets... I ask because mature algae is lacking in the quarantine tank but there's a plethora in the display tank. Any help or suggestions are much appreciated thanks!
 
They are a film algae eater. I have seen the ones I have kept in the past eat or try to eat and at least scrape at algae wafers and pieces of nori. Is that enough to sustain them? I am not sure.
