You don't need to do anything for it - sponges are filter feeders that will get everything they need from what is already in your water. That it is there would indicate that all is well. You can expect to find sponges growing from what seems like nothing in various shades of pink, yello, blue, green and black as well as your tank matures

If you enrich your food with selcon that makes excellent filter feeder food
