Can I add a leather coral on a live rock to my tank? I’m getting a good deal on a coral but the issue it’s attached to a live rock, not sure if I can add it to my tank with out anything dying?

This is fine. People add small rocks with coral attached all the time. The only time to worry about "adding live rock to an established tank" is when you're talking about ordering a bunch of Florida live rock (or similar) that's been shipped to your home and may have die off.
