I'll give you a maybe on that. Fine meaty foods are your best bet, especially starting out.
You do, I hope, understand that it is a non-photosynthetic corals that requires daily (well, nightly at first) feedings. They can be difficult to keep long term due to their requirements and the corresponding water quality issues that feeding them bring about.

Yes I know they are non-photosynthetic coral.
I bought them brine shrimp eggs and they seems to like it... |

I would feed them some mysis or similar zoo plankton. I disagree that they need to be feed daily. I think 2-3 times per week is good.
