Here's a list of what corals I currently have in my tank:
-small purple/pink Lemnalia
-1 large pink coco worm
-small frogspawn
-15 blue mushroom
-1 itsy bitsy adorable yellow feather duster plus a couple other small ones I've seen popping up here and there.
-small long star polyp

My Kent brand coral food says to feed them 2-3 times a week, but I've gotten in the possibly bad habit of feeding them everyday because I love watching them eat. Should I cut back? I feel like I should. But is it hurting them to feed them everyday? Will they grow faster?

You should cut back IMO. Excess nutrients in the system will cause algae problems. What lighting do you have for these corals? Keep an eye on the coco worm; they don't tend to fare well in new tanks.

a single 65 watt aqualight. And I have no protein skimmer, I just do weekly 5 gal water changes. I'm actually surprised how well everything is going. To be honest, i thought I would have far more problems and set backs. Granted, my only fish died...my corals are thriving and look beautiful!! Once all this ICH dies off I plan on getting a pair of clownfish and hope for the best. But for the most part, the greatest stress I've encountered has been my fish...so I'm hesitant to get more...but I don't feel my tank is complete without a couple fish. And I hear they'll possibly host frogspawn. And everyone has advised against getting an anemone saying they'll move around the tank and possibly kill many things in its path.
I'm just so thrilled how well things are going!!
