Never heard of an invasive sponge. Sponges don’t like flow or air. You could dry the rock out a bit maybe or just increase the flow in your tank.i have invasive black sponge what will kill it
Sponge is generally beneficial to our tanks. I went to great lengths to seed it when I started a tank with dry rock. Funny that people are trying to kill itIf you can remove the rock it’s on then you can scrape it off with a razor blade or knife. I had sponges on my live rock from the gulf that made it to me and survived. They were only covered in wet newspaper. I think they have to be exposed to air for a while before they die.
I think the black one can smother things though. I have orange and yellow in my tank and hope it stays.Sponge is generally beneficial to our tanks. I went to great lengths to seed it when I started a tank with dry rock. Funny that people are trying to kill it

Remove it yourself with tweezers. Easily done.
The only thing that I have noticed to keep sponge in check has been one of it's natural predators in the wild. Angelfish. My flame angel keeps my beautiful blue and white sponges in check.
I got 2 flames and 2 heraldis and none of them nips the black sponge.
yeah i have blue , no problem. the black does not respond to air. it coats the rock like slime from the underside then kills zoasfor sure.The only thing that I have noticed to keep sponge in check has been one of it's natural predators in the wild.

thats it , it stays low and coats the rock and zoasBlack sponge was bad news for my Zoas. Started smothering them. I cut what Zoas I could and put the rock outside. I have pink , green and white sponge all over my tank and never had a problem with those.
