Thanks Seffie have 1 emarld crab in there atm chomping away at it 
The Leather coral that came with the tank seems to be much happier now covered in polyps (will post a piccy once it finishes molting)
The issue i have with it is that it is a little too big for my tank imo, what do most people do if corals are to big?

Sell it, exchange it or frag it 
Or like me, buy a bigger tank

Sorry to hijack.
What does Frag It mean?

The indecisive one
It basically means cutting a piece off of the main coral to make smaller pieces, its normally done when the mother colony gets large 
Its often a good cheap way of buying corals rather than spending a lot on a large coral. Have a look on you tube there are some videos on there of people doing it.

Have a few more questions
I have ordered an upgraded pump to replace the orca standard one as the flow through the filter seems a little lacking I also have a K2 doing a lot of circulation. but I have noticed there seems to be a slow water area behind the rocks I have seen a Korilea nano for a very good price would it be worth adding this in behind the rocks or would this be to much flow? (upgraded spray bar is 1200 LPH)
2600 LPH + 1200 LPh + 900LPH
4700LPh 125L tank roughly 37 times an hour?
Also as I inherited the tank everytime I do a water change I disturb a lot of matter would it be worth sticking in a sponge filter whilst doing the water changes only to clear this matter up?

Nope its fine the only thing I dislike is not being able to see in the filter but all these tanks will be the same when I go for a bigger tank I will get one with the class filter below or build my own.

Thanks been out again today and picked up a few LPS grabbed a very small frag of duncan a small trumpet and a Torch all quiet cheap would rather see small corals growing than the big expenses of large ones, the the torch orginally had 3 heads but apparently had been stung so 2 died not sure if I should cut them off or just see how it goes.
The duncan is a single head very small will try and get some mysis to it.
Do Torches and trumpets need feeding as well (or like to be fed)?
I have also found this bit of rock with what it looks like something growing on any ideas ?

No, you don't have to cut them off

I spot feed mine weekly

Look like Zoa to me - give them time and they will open, wonder what colour they are
