Questions about astreopora, psammacora, porites, and sympodium?

I have some reasonably vertical rock space and cave mouths that do get medium to low levels of light.

I have never grown any of the following astreopora, psammacora, porites, and sympodium. I was thinking about placing them on some of the above mentioned surfaces.

I was just wondering how invasive are the growths on these corals, and will I need to worry about them encrusting on and competing against SPS. There will be a good bit of space to start out with, but I'm thinking about the future in a mature tank where it may not be easy to remove something that can become invasive.

Any input from anyone with any experience with any of these corals?
 
Anyone out there ever kept any of these corals?

I've tried some searches, but haven't been able to get any good first hand info.
 
Haven't kept sympodium but I know it can get to invasive levels. I keep porites and psammocora but they have not been problematic at all as far as quick growth and/or invasive spread.
