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

I agree, its frogspawn which is an LPS. Maybe the LFS forgot what your tank's limitations were. Sometimes there is a lot happening any given day at LFS and maybe they were distracted when you bought it?
Right ok! No he didn't forget cause it wasn't very busy and we were talking about how I wanted the torch looking ones but they weren't appropriate and he showed me this. He said it's similar to a Duncan?

Well that is confusing because torches, frogspawn and Duncan's are all LPS. Did he tell you why he didn't think your tank was appropriate for torches? What sort of lighting and flow does your tank have?
He said that due to me only having a 120Litre it could be quite small for it as they extend their feelers when finding food. Also that they are usually for more experienced tanks due to need for Calium? And giving them what they need! I hope I am not getting muddled up with his advice. I'm thinking I'm potentially getting confused! Sorry for all the confusion!

Torches do tend to extend their tentacles pretty long so I guess I could understand that. If its the only LPS you have and you faithfully do a 10% WC every week you probably won't have to dose calcium because there is calcium in the salt mixes. I never dosed until I went with mostly LPS and a clam and even now I only dose probably once a month.
