For one time only, what should I do if I cannot feed my fish for 4-5 days?

One anthias, one "Dory" tang, one fire shrimp, and one target mandarin. All but target mandarin are fed and will eat frozen only.
 
I personally wouldn't want to let my fish miss eating more than a day.

I would try to find someone that you can trust come by and feed them while you are away.

They make auto feeders and such, but that would be for a dry flake or pellet.
 
I have got a week without feeding before you should be fine
 
You should be ok. I would leave an algae clip in the tank for the tang, to hold him over and reduce aggression.

Once you get back, start introducing some pellet food. this way you can set up an auto feeder.
 
Anything over 3days I would have someone come feed. One thing you can do to help if there is no other option is to buy some live feed. Pods and brine shrimp so there is something for them to eat for at least a couple of the days.
