Just cut the meat into pieces about 1/4" to 1/2" cubes. Depending on the size and health of the elegance. Just wiggle the food in the tentacles, and the coral will do the rest.
I'm not a big fan of silver sides, or other large, frozen, aquarium foods. There is no USDA or other organization to control the quality of aquarium foods. Silver sides can be thawed and refrozen multiple times before it reaches our pets. If it spoils, they can still sell it. I buy "fresh" seafood from the grocery store to feed my elegance, other large LPS, and anemones.
Just MHO

The FDA and USDA indeed do oversee pet feeds, and very strictly as well. Technically all aquarium feeds should be made in a USDA certified kitchen. FWIW I was the Compliance Officer for a major aquarium feed manufacturer.

Manufacturers are held liable just like any other food producer. The LFS in no way should be selling spoiled feeds.
