Many fish "should" be fed several times a day, but those recommendations are based on a fish only system. In a healthy reef, there are lots of natural food sources for the fish to graze on. Supplimenting that with feedings just ensures nutrition. Often, my fish (even the voracious tangs!) goes for a few days without "canned" food, and they are all fat as can be!
