Target feedings will def help, but lets think about algae and how it grows. Without proper lighting, the algae wont grow and I'd be willing to bet my tank on it that those LEDs wont make that happen. I'll agree target feeding may help it survive a little longer, but IMO lighting is the main issue right now many people never feed their rbtas and have beautiful specimens. There is a sticky thread in this forum listing all types of nems and some info on them, check that out. RBTA require moderate to strong lighting, as do most nems that I know of.
While you have a valid point here, this isn't your typical BTA. Its lost its zooxanthellae. If it was healthy and had all its zoox, then sure you could get away without target feeding it. But we have to look at the issue on hand. And i'd also bet all my tanks that i could get algae to grow under a flashlight.
Target feeding every other day sounds good.
