Live rock requires specific conditions, you just don't add it to a tank without the right equipment and lighting.

Small salt tanks are hard to keep healthy, one method that works requires live rock, extra water pumps and specialized lighting.

Dead coral is a common decoration, but that's all it is, decoration.

I fear you have not learned correct info about saltwater tanks. You are probably headed for problems unless you do some more research.
