I have a five gallon aquarium in my office containing a small pericula (sp) clown and an anemone. The office will be closed from December 25th until January 5th. If I set up a feeder with flaked marine food, will the clown die of malnutrition during this period? Will the anemone starve while I'm not there? I thought about taking the tank (or its occupants) home for the break, but it seems that the shock of transport might be worse. Any thoughts or experience?
