Genicanthus feeding question

I recently got a female Genicanthus Melanospilous and she's doing great. She's about 4" and eats just about everything. Her favorite seems to be frozen Ocean Plankton. I would like to know from those with experience how often and how much should I feed her?

I'm already battling a HA problem and I don't want to overfeed but do want her to remain happy and healthy. Her tankmates include a purple tang, coral beauty, lawnmower blenny, percula clownfish, two damsels, and a clown goby. All but the blenny seem to be happy to help her eat her plankton too.

I feel that I have all the bioload I want to put in my 110 gallon so no more fish (the damsels may be relocated in the future.
 
I'd feed her several small feedings a day, at least 3 or 4. They are active plankton pickers that need lots of food. Meaty foods like the Ocean Plankton, Mysis, and even some good pellet foods will do well for her.
 
yes, feed her as often as possible. I'm guessing not TOO much at once, but I know they need a constant intake of food.
