I recently added this frag of teal and bright green Favia (center of the pic above the Xenia) and the guy at the LFS said put it middle of the tank which I figure it is almost exactly middle but i'm a bit worried its getting too much light up there. Anyone with experience growing Favia and if I should move down or wait to see if it starts bleaching?
 
They can acclimate to different lighting. Seeing that you have zoa's at the top of your rocks, I think the lighting will be fine for the favia if its fine for the zoa's.

It should be on or near the bottom, 50-100 par and moderate flow. Mine is on the sand.

My wife and I lived in Chesterfield while I was going to school. We took full advantage of the free beautiful zoo on nice days.
