Are lobos fast growers?

[Theo15]

I was wondering how fast growing are these guys

Not that fast. You can try feeding them pellets daily.

Are these guys easy to care for?

They are , as long as you have good lighting , I feed them once every other week

What kind of par do they need? My sandbed is only 55

Should they be placed on the sand bed? The lfs where I bought mine told me to place it on a rock.

You can place them on a rock but I would rather mine on the sandbed, they have been there a few months and seem to like it there

Good, mine has been in that spot for sometime and doing well. Looks a lot like yours.

I bought mine at the lfs and it was labeled as aussie lobophyllia it was only $50, I wish they grew faster , I feed mine regularly , you have a nice tank btw!

Slow growers.. fairly easy to keep.

I feed my system live brine shrimp twice/week and have a very large pod population I care diligently for and add to monthly. Beyond that and feeding my fish, I don't target feed or feed additionally. My LPS coral does quite well with this.
