Most of the live stuff I can see on your rock will probably die, like most sponges do if out of the water. However, some do tolerate it and may survive. The coral is not photosynthetic and odds are it will die. The algae is the opposite extreme, it can grow like crazy and can completely over run your tank.
I tried some TBS live rock in a 65g shallow reef and the algae grew everywhere. I also got flat worms that I'm still trying to get rid of. The only thing I think TBS live rock is good for is if you are doing a VERY wild and natural tank. Never for a coral reef!
