Do I just feed the phyto? Can i spot feed it? It just seems like the corals can't be getting much of it. I also have some Rod's food. Could I spot feed them some of it? Yes I have been feeding them the phyto and they look healthy I just don't want them to be hungery or start craving red meat. I have a mushroom, zoa, GSP, tree, and a feather duster. Thanks.

The feather duster is the only one who will starve without food additions. Do not spot feed the duster as you will clog the feed apparatus. If you don't think the duster is eating enough simply increase dosage or frequency, turn your skimmer of for 15 mins if need be. If the phyto is in the water it will be consumed by everything.
The rest of the corals will be fine with light alone, however you can feed them.
Especially frozen foods, your water quality will go down hill fast if the food is not consumed immediately. If you can spot feed the corals with out fish and crabs or the water current taking the food away, go ahead.
Just be cautious and feed very sparingly.
Once you start to accumulate phosphate it kind of snowballs out of control. It is easier to never to deal with a problem then to fix a problem. In you do choose to feed foods regularly I would suggest looking into adding some quality phosphate remover.
