Question Feeding Diamond Watchman Goby

What do you peeps feed your Diamond Watchman Goby? Mine looks a little skinny...

What I feed per day:
Formula Two Flake 1/4 TSP
Formula One Pellet 1/4 TSP

What I feed three times a week:
Reef Plankton 3mg (Frozen)
ZooPlex 5ml
PhytoPlex 5ml

This seems like it is not enough for 2 Yellow Tail Damsel, 1 Diamond Watchman Goby, 1 Cleaner Shrimp, 2 Hermits, 1 Sand Shifting Starfish

My Diamond Goby love mysis shrimp. He eats them slow so I target feed him so the other fish don't eat it all first. Takes a little more time but he seems very happy.

My gobies (diamond and yellow watchman) eat LOTS. I also target both of them. Mysis, Brine, Flakes, whatever I feed they eat.

Mine eats most anything and is always first in line at feeding time. He is far from skinny!
