Does anyone have any information about how long a small marine tank can
go within any attention?  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?

Thanks in advance,
