That appears to be a stocking list and not a feeding schedule? :face-with-hand-over-mouth:

  • Firefish Goby (Nemateleotris magnifica)
  • Orange Stripe Cardinal (Apogon aureus)
  • Royal Gramma (Gramma loreto)
  • Ocellaris Clownfish (x2) (Amphiprion ocellaris)
  • Rosy-Scale Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus rubrisquamis)
  • Ruby Finned Fairy Wrasse (Male) (Cirrhilabrus rubripinnis)
  • Flame Angelfish (Centropyge loricula)
  • Tomini Tang (Ctenochaetus tominiensi)
For reasonable results these fish can survive with only one small feeding each day. They may like to eat more often, and the amount of natural foods (algae, pods, corals) that they can pick at can impact how often they will want to eat.

The remaining invertebrates would ideally be filter feeding some of the fish food or capturing fish waste to fulfill their nutrition needs. I would not target feed most of them unless one the crabs or LPS coral seemed to be starving to death.
