Is it bad to feed these corals daily?

These 2 corals a recent additions to my new tank. They have readily been eating mysis daily this past week. When I feed my fish I'll drop a few on top of them and they gobble it up. Is it not good to feed them on a daily basis even if they'll eat? Or should I stick to only 2x/week?

You dont need to feed your fish everyday, 2 to 3 times a week is fine. The main reason people feed 2 or 3 times a week including myself is to cut down on the organic and nutrient levels in the tank. This will cut down on algae growth.
Fish will eat constantly, if they eat it all I wouldnt worry, but they can get by with feedings 2 to 3 times a week.
 
It won't hurt them, these are two corals that IMO are good to target feed :)

Neat to watch them eat.

But like said above, you don't need to feed daily. Some folks hardly ever [or never] direct-feed them, but IMO if they take food so readily, why not give it to them?

I would not feed every single day, just to avoid nutrient problems + be sure you're not giving too much somehow. But, feed them regularly - seems like they'd grow more that way.

Just my opinion. I may talk a lot, that doesn't mean I know much :D
