How many times a week should/can I feed my pair of coral cats?

Male is 18" and the Female is 20". I was feeding them daily and have now started every other day. How much is too much and how much food per shark?
I am using Vita-Chem marine to soak squid, silversides, shrimp, and clams in and they seem to really enjoy it. They each take 3 or 4 pieces
at a time daily. I also treat them each once a week with 3 live chromis off the tongs. I have backed off this week because i feel like its too much,
they have very large appetites for slender sharks. Is it best to feed once or twice a week and give them more time to digest or give smaller
amounts of food daily.

I have found extreme growth rates in giving my freshwater preds a few live fish a day rather than a larger meal once a week. Can this also apply
for sharks?

Thanks for reading
 
Actually - it best to feed them smaller amounts, but do so every day or two - than it is to feed one large meal once per week.

The only sharks which it good to feed only once per week is wobbegongs.

Thankyou for your time krj. much appreciated
