It could most likely die if flow isn't kept over it. I don't know if it is a BAD sponge, but they are very common in the dark areas where there is good flow in LR.

Taking them out of water may stop their siphoning ability. Don’t sweat it! You will have more growing somewhere else in the new arrangement. I have moved rocks around and they have died, but were replaced by new ones in the pockets/cavities. Don't be such a worrywart.

Yea they grow in many colors too. Here is a group, that was on the back of this rock I turned around a while back. The shot is a better description of its colors than I care to make!! .......... Like said don't sweat it.. They are a part of the tanks "Growing up" process.

Yea, if anything if the sponge was weak or dieing off from exposure. It is more likely the snails are having a snack on the sponge.......
