I just got home from my Thanksgiving trip to find all my inverts were well and happy. Of course I was only gone 3 days but I was still pretty stressed about it. Now Christmas is coming up and I will be gone for a full week and maybe an extra day. I know my fish will be fine but will my inverts? I have a well established 5 gallon tank with some shrimp, snails and a dwarf cray.

You could always use weekend feeder blocks from your lfs, or make some plaster of paris blocks info in the F A Q at top of invert forum.

Yes, I think that they would be fine for a few day also.
They will just feed on the algae on the glass and moss in the tank.

I think I would do a water change before leaving and not clean my front glass of algae for a week or two before leaving, at least I think that would give them more to feed on.
