I feed my LPS (bubble, brain, acan, hammers, torch, frogspawn, candycanes), ric and yellow polyps with mysis, zooplankton, cyclopeeze, bits of silverside, shrimp etc. made into a coarse mush. I use a pipette to target feed them every few days after lights out, and they also catch bits of frozen foods when I feed the fish. Some people feed once a week, some never, some daily. I don't think there are any 'rules' about how often to feed corals, you want them to get enough to eat without polluting the tank. What works in one tank might not work in another; play around and see what works for you.
