LTA feeding and mouth

How often should I feed my long tentacle? I've had it for about 9 months and has grown substantially. Have plenty of light, 2 Chinese 120 watts over a 55 dimmed to less than 50% so they don't fry anything. But it will eat everyday! I have fed it the last 2 days, and typically when it's mouth looks like this it seems hungry and eats readily. It has never expelled anything, but not sure if it will do harm to feed this much? I only feed shrimp, mysis, or squid.

Looks nice.
They really don't need that much spot feeding, and actually w/ good lighting they could not be spot fed at all.
I usually will spot feed a small piece of scallop or raw shrimp maybe once a week or even every other week, and of course they will pick up some of the food for fish, mysis mainly.
