I got this as a zoa rock... It has the Leptastrea encrustation on one side and the Favia on the other side. The Favia's sweepers wipe out the zoas around it and grow pretty quickly. The Leptastrea just overgrows them.

I got another small zoa rock with a maze brain on it (little guy). It's sweepers wipe out the zoas as it grows, too.

The LPS aren't wiping out colonies of zoas, but do easily invade the zoa territories a few polyps at a time.

caulastrea and Lobo's can have some killer long sweepers. Blasto's are your safest bet. I have had favia's and Acans wipe out zoo's in 1 day
