How long can a davinci clown and 2 green banded gobies live without food for?

More than a week.

if they have been fed well up until being cut off, quite a while. Few weeks, but for their sake i wouldn't push it. I mean, people can live 2 weeks without food, but it sure isn't fun. I am sure they feel the same.

no need for them to be without food, just go buy an automatic fish feeder. I mean, no one would ask this about a dog or cat.....

This answer will vary greatly on your particular tank. A really nice mature reef tank with an abundance of liverock and a healthy pod population can feed most fish populations indefinitely. Fish in the wild don't get pellets tossed down to them, they have to hunt for their meals.

Until I got the itch to start keeping anthias in my display tanks, my reef tanks had a big fish population and were only fed a couple of times a year. Nice healthy fat fish surviving off what the tank produced.
