I guess if they let you take it from unprotected areas then that means there is enough or there not going extinct.
I read an article on taking pictures so ill do the white balance and take some pics.Are sponges even desirable in the tank?

Some yes, some no. Certain kinds can become very invasive. | |

Sponge is a desireable animal for a reef tank as they represent great filter feeders. They can withstand wide temperature ranges ans are suspension feeders as well.
Sponge should never be lifted out of water and allowed to fill up with air, or you are looking at death as a result!
As for the species, I can't find one other than possibly Ulosa or Mycale species from Florida!

Hey guy i decided to take out the sponge, so when i did remove some of it stayed on the rocks, since it had attached itself to it. You think it will grow back? The only reason i removed it was it had hair algae. It was actually really nice.
Thanks | |

You never know it might 
That type of sponge is common off the Florida coast.
I kept some for about 6-8 mos then it gradually faded away.
