I tried feeding like GSP did, since he was my mentor and adviser on taking care of Griffie properly. I found that whole pieces would just get left on the sand bed and rot there if he dropped them. If the food hit the sand he would not eat it. I had chunks of seafood every where.
Whatever food my puffer blows out his gills is quickly eaten up by everybody else. They wait for him, and then come in like a school of piranha to eat it up. Whatever does not get consumed goes into my overflows into my filter socks which I change daily. I find the way I do it to be easier for me and better for the overall health of my system. My tank is very deep and I cannot get chunks of uneaten food out from under rocks. The food that is not eaten by my fish gets picked up and taken away by my power heads...
