For future reference:
When you are transfering a sponge from the bag to tank, use a cup instead of pulling it out. After acclimation, take a cup full of your tank water and submerge it in the bag so that is is low enough that you can scoop the sponge into the cup without it hitting the air. After this, submerge the cup in your tank so that you can get the sponge into the tank without touching air as well. The problem is that air is quite harmful to a sponge and it can die from it, causing decay in your tank. Sponges are always good though, awesome find and good luck!

quick transfer from bag to tank.
Doesn't matter. Even a brief exposure gets tiny air bubbles clogged in their pores, which leads to slow suffocation.
Though, sponges feel no pain.

alot of the smaller species of sponges dont have that problem with catching air bubbles not sure why though.
That looks like a sponge but the description of flowers kinda stricks me. are there polyps coming out of the solid parts? or does it have holes down into the area that look like flowers>?

I have a small ball sponge on one of my zoa rocks and some yellow sponge on various other rocks and my clam they have been exposed to air several times during fragging and aquascaping sessions and never had any problems with it. Seems to be the larger ornamental sponges that do not like air.
