Hey I don't mean to question you as you most probably are very experienced. But are you sure? (I know I'm probably coming across as ignorant! Sorry!!)

The reason I ask is my LFS sold it me and before he has always said that my tank is not a hard coral tank ATM! (I'm presuming frogspawn coral is hard coral?) if I'm coming across dense is because I'm still new! But I'm very eager to learn

And he did tell me what it was.. I just always forget! I know that's not very good of me ☺️

If you have proper lighting, sufficient calcium and alk levels, and fairly low nitrates and phosphates. You should be fine.

Yep. Keep in mind some corals are known by different names in other countries. Regardless, it's scientific name is Euphyllia.
