 not nessasarly true, I have had several sponges that survived my tank move and every one was exposed to the air for a while.  There are some types of sponges that will be tost if you expose them to air, but not all.

 Gotta agree with Steve. I have a lot of sponges, and all of them have been exposed to air and are still fine. Some do not tolerate however, and since I can't which do and which don't, it's porlly best to not expose any of them.
