They will need rotifers as food for the first 2-3 weeks then can be weaned over to newly hatched brine shrimp.
They don't hitch at birth so need to be kept in constant motion through the use of airlines. No filtration in the tank and daily water changes of 50-75% are needed to keep water quality up.

Not to sound grim or anything but unless you are totally prepared before they arrive, chances are you won't get any to survive. Even being prepared means nothing as reidi are one of the hardest species of seahorse to raise.

Here's a good read on raising reidi:
