I would just isolate the rock don't let it touch anything else. sponges are actually great filter feeders and they will absorb nutrients really well, if you have a refugium stick it there.
Hope your right, I have zoas on it as well and don't think they will do that well in the fuge. Must not need light as they were only growing under the rock.
not all sponges are safe some excrete a mucus that eats it way into rock and coral so the sponge can grow into the rock or corals for camouflage and safety what u can do if u want to get rid of the sponge is peroxide dip or cut it off using a scalpel

Try'd peroxide, killed all the critters in the rock but sponge came back...maybe didnt use enough peroxide? Anything else you would suggest? now have it on two other rocks, and I dont want my whole aquarium ending up covered in this ugly stuff!
One of the rocks have some nice mushrooms I kinda liked, and the other some nuclear greens...nothing fancy just hate killing em. lol Maybe I can frag em off and then dry the rock?
hit it with a hard plastic brush... like, something to strip paint... even if you dig into the live rock, that's okay... but make sure you get rid of all of it...
i thought peroxide would've worked... it looked like zoa fungus to me...
I would rid the whole rock with the zoa, Ive had bad experiences with stuff like this spreading like wild fire, dont take the chance, so what if you lose a few zoa its better than it spreading and losing some more expensive ones!
