According to Bob Fenner


they’re generally omnivorous. They could eat anything including sponges, detritus, film algae, sessile invertebrates, to meaty foods such as bits of clam, shrimp, krill, etc

He went on to say that they are unlikely to eat seaweed but give it a try as you never know.

My understanding is that if your tank is large enough with a lot of lr they should not need supplementary feeding
