I feed my fish everyday. My rational is that a well fed fish is a happy fish.

Why not try something like Mysis shrimp? All of my fish love them and nothing goes to waste.
It's entirely up to you, but I would rather address the nitrate / phosphate issue that is leading to your algae problem than make my fish go hungry. Nothing against your train of thought and it's your tank to do with as you want. But I just prefer my fish to be full and happy.

I find the clowns do very well with small frequent meals. Mine are spoiled and are fed 4-8 small meals a day. I am seeking spawn though. They also require a diverse diet.

I vodka dose to control the phospate and nitrate issues. Works very well as long as you have a good skimmer. Allows you to indulge the fish AND keep the nitrates / phosphates under control. And is very cost effective.
Like everyone here I have 2 little percula hogs that let food go to waste. I do feed daily and change up from pellets to frozen to flake.

Damsels and clownfish don't mix well. Nassarius snails are reef-safe and fantastic for eating up uneaten food--I'd get a few of them instead. If you have a refugium, or a sump that could be modified to serve as a refugium, chaetomorpha is excellent for nutrient export.
