He'll eat just about anything you put in the tank. I never directly fed mine, because he'd steal food from everyone else, especially my anemone and LPS corals. That's why I ended up getting rid of him. But the short story is, they're very efficient scavengers, so I wouldn't worry about feeding him anything in particular.
