Feeding...Conflicting advice

ok...so i have a coral beauty and an ocellaris clown in a 55 gallon fowlr. i have heard the following in terms of feeding...once a day, twice a day, three times a day, every other day, every two days...i currently feed spyrolina (sp?) shrimp every other day. would anyone recommend anything different?

I can't comment on the coral beauty but I do have the same type of clown fish. I feed them every other day. I rotate between flake food, brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. The only problem with brine shrimp is that there isn't much in the way of protein. The mysis is loaded with it and even the flake food is decent.

I don't know if I lucked out or what but my clowns take pretty much anything I put in the tank. I do get all of my live stock from only one LFS that is really good. A little pricey but good quality fish.

when i first introduced the flake he took a bite and spit it all out. i tried offering it after a few days of fasting and he wanted no part of it...brine and spyrolina...loves it!

I feed my tank twice a day. Flake about 2:00 then mysis around 6:00. I was told as long as the food is eaten and doesn't just float to the bottom. Between the chromis, and the clowns they waste no time. In fact now they come right to the top right when I open the lid.
