Favia and Lobo Care/Info/Experiences?

[HollyG]

One of my buddies is trading me a royal blue Favia and teal and purple lobo, both with 2 heads, for my purple tipped hammer. I have yet to keep these kinds of LPS, so just wondering about care and want to hear about your experiences with these corals. I have read a bunch of care sheets onine but I want to know everything I can. Potential/common problems with these corals too. I'm no beginner at reef keeping and have numberous acros, montis, a few softies and other LPS, like frogspawns , torch, and trumpet... anything about the lobo and favias I should know that isn't mentioned often enough? thanks!

med flow and med light. I target fed my lobo and favia with very tiny pieces of finely chopped up raw shrimp meat at night when its feeding tentacles are out.

+ 1 on target feeding. I feel they benefit from that a lot. Medium light will help the coral keep it's best color.
