Uses for Dieing Sponge
I bought a sponge at an LFS but unfortunately due to packaging too much of it was exposed air and now its dieing. Is there anyway to revive it? I have pruned off dead parts of it but it is still dieing. Should I remove it and just have a really cool shower sponge?

Once it touch air it's usually gone.

This is just a guess, so take it for what it is worth, but I am wondering if you could cut off all the dead stuff -- at least that way it wouldn't foul your tank.

I have cut off all that I can but to get every single part of it would be impossible.

it will die all the way
it isn't the air, it's the flow change and lack of nutrients that kills the whole sponge add red and orange sponges from the LFS to your list of "DO NOT BUY" survival % is pathetic.
