Lights out to control algae

If you turn the lights off for lets say three days, what do you do about feeding the fish? Can they find food in the dark? I feed mine every day...

Most fish will be fine without food for 3 days. Some will not like Anthias. I had 2 clowns and a 6 line and had my lights out for 3 days. I did not feed them and they were fine.
