Aggressive fish competition

I have a tank that has had a toadfish and snowflake eel in it for a while, and I recently added a bursa triggerfish. Oftentimes when I try to feed the trigger, the other fish will go after it and steal its food. I want to make sure that the triggerfish is getting enough food and the other 2 aren’t getting too much food. I’ve tried feeding the trigger clam, krill, silverside and even live ghost shrimp, but the trigger can always only get a few nibbles in before the food gets snatched. Any advice?
 
Have you tried feeding at separate ends of the tank?

Another thought is to feed twice within the same timeframe. Like feed some to fill the other guys then feed more so the trigger hopefully gets his own
