They're very undemanding on food. Mine will readily take down everything from mysis, to pellets, to algae flakes (though probably gets the least nutritional value from algae flakes). I actually don't feed mine ever, it grows well enough on light alone, and if I feed it every fish and invert in the tank seems to know and starts picking at it trying to pull food from the tentacles and mouths
I give mysis shrimp, silverside pieces (crazy reaction with these), my own personal food cocktail, and I have seen some Hikari Seaweed Extreme wafers getting swallowed up. There's also filtering of the zooplankton in the water. Try switching it up and finding which foods give you the best reaction, but no need to overdo it - they can still make their own "food" with proper lighting.
It can work in my favor if I turn all the lights off to feed it and I honestly have never, ever, seen it get so big in pure darkness.
