First two pics are healthy sponge attached to Rock.
2nd two pics are recent pics sponge detached.

1) Do you know the name of this sponge?
2) will it reattch?

I moved some LR around because of new BTA. When I did I think I moved rock with sponge in a high flow area and the sponge started shredding then detached. Any advice I’d appreciate it!

Looks like a combination of encrusting orange sponge and veiled orange sponge- Both safe
 
It’s neither of those. It’s red. Used to inflate real big when attached to rock. It’s like a deflated ballon now. Maybe it’s not a sponge I’m talking about...? Any other suggestions?
 
Maybe it’s a a red solitary sea squirt...?....
 
Most likely a tunicate. They don't like strong flow. If you put it in a moderate flow area, it should reattach in time.
