I have three times as many fish as you and I would feed one cube of mysis and some live blackworms or clam. I would never feed bloodworms because they are not worms but beetle larvae and not a real good food for salt water fish. Blackworms or clam is much better, I would also never feed brine shrimp plus, again, not the best food. Of course any food must be thawed and rinsed because about half of that frozen food is useless jel or juce that will provide no nutrition except to the bacteria to turn to nitrates.
Fish will eat as much as they feed them but they don't require much food, just the proper food.
Some of my spawning fish are 18 years old so I know they are not underfed.
