Chili coral / Cactus coral owners

Is there a way to get a chili coral on a different feeding schedule so it opens during the day rather than at night? Also, what do you find to be the best thing to feed it?

When they are open (during the night) they look like this:

When they are closed (during the day) they look like that minus the white polyps.

They are nocturnal, but in the tank with no light they are open to feed during part of the day too.
