Inherited a 125 gallon tank

[Alayna]

My boyfriend's dad had a 125 gallon saltwater tank for many years and fell ill and passed within a couple months. We decided to take it on. While his dad was in the hospital it was not taken care of, so for about a month, maybe two, the fish and corals were fed about 7-8 times and there were no water changes or anything. All of the fish survived, but we lost a couple of the corals from the lack of care and then trying to bring the tank back.
I went to the local aquarium that his father purchased many of the fish, corals, and supplies from and they recommended me to, "the fish guy." He came out for a nice chunk of change and very quickly tried to explain and show how to do a water change, because it really needed it. He was at our house for about 30-45 minutes and we didn't get very many answers to our questions.
My boyfriend and I have very minimal knowledge of saltwater tanks, so I was wondering if I could get some help from you guys to see if you can name what corals we have in the tank, so I can better care for them and just give us any knowledge you can really.

Absolutely! Ask away!

looks like you have, in order left to right, a few heads of green torch, green palythoa, duncan and some type of gorgonian. i would suggest getting a good test kit if you dont have one and check, ammonia, nitrate, calcium and alkalinity. definitely do a good size water change, maybe 50%, since it was sitting so long unattended. start there and ask away any other questions.
