I've been told they can only last 2 days without a food source but unable to confirm. Probably looking at 3 days of travel. I

I wouldn't risk it that long unless you have a way to feed them and a way to put oxygen in the water. If you had a cheap airstone/bubblemake and some food i'd say go for it.

I have a tank set up to travel but haven't been able to find any aptasia. I thought I'd be able to buy a small live rock from Petco with some on it but they're all surprisingly clean. Not something I anticipated having to search for

Oh the irony. >_<" The one place you'd expect to almost definitely have aiptasia, there's none.

(To be fair not all Petco are terribad of course, but anyways.)
