I realize that corals need to be dipped before placing in the dt. Can sponges be dipped w/o killing it?

i always thought that if you take a sponge out of the water it will kill it so you might want to be carefull. i dident dip my sponge before i put it in my tank

theres really no reason to dip them. beside most sponges dont survive very long in the average tank.
