How often do you feed ?
This questions stems off of the angel fish/reef safe post in the reef fishes forum. Many people say that their angels dont bother their corals because they heavily feed their fish every day. So the question is how many times do all you reefers feed your tanks. I have heard some say only once a day while I have also heard 4-5 times a day.

3 times per day mostly using an Eheim autofeeder, supplemented with manually fed frozen goodies for the evening meal. I have a Singapore (Vermiculated) Angel and he has not bothered any of my LPS or soft corals. Don't have any SPS.
Noon feeding is fairly light with mostly pellet food. Morning is mostly flake with some pellet, and as mentioned evening is frozen when I'm home along with flake & pellets from autofeeder. Oh yes, I also hang a veggie clip in there for my Yellow Tang. The Angelfish also likes to tear at the nori on the clip. I've observed both the tang and angel grazing on the rock work, but never pick at the coral.

Once a day lately, but I used to feed only every other day. I've increased feedings because my clownfish have started spawning and I wanted to spot feed some newer corals I have.
