They should feed on what it is you're feeding the tank. What are you feeding, how often, and explain your lighting. BTW, welcome aboard!!!

I target feed some of my lps shrimp one time a week and feed the tank ever other day with home made mush

IMO, due to the natural nature and slower metabolizm of salt water fish, it's not neccessarry to feed more than every other day. Should be fine, though, as long as nutrient build up does not get too high and begin an algae or cyanobacteria bloom.
