Twice a week with a mixture of about 5 different frozen foods eith reef roids mixed in, all pumps off for at least 30 minutes to give the corals time to consume the food.
 
Every time I feed my favia , favite & candy canes coral frenzy pellets they look more full / healthier the next day. Actually I saved my blood diamond favite after a tank crash as soon as I noticed tentacles coming out again thankfully it ate a couple pellets really slow but the next day I could tell it looked much healthier. Here's a pic of the bounce back.

Nice save @FugeTown. Corals like to eat! Colors look great
 
I mixed up some red juice from the fish mix a couple cubes of oyster egg & some smushed ocean planton. in tank water. then I used a big syringe & target fed the zoas a lobo,a favia that's trying to come back & another coral I don't know what it is. I also unpluged the return & poured some of the mix into the water. I did this early this week & just now after lights out. the return has been off for 40 mins now. Hope this is a good plan. I haven't really fed my corals before just every so often. I don't know if it's overfeeding or not enough etc. Any Op's on night versus day? Thanks
