Can a sponge be stung

I have a few sponges and some are near, hammers , elegant and torch corals. could they be stung by them or are they immune to it.

I'm not 100% sure but I always thought sponges were made of many small organisms, but I also know there are thousands of different species. If they can be stung only a small portion would die I would think?

yes sponges can be stung - the elegance coral has strong stinging cells. but from the photo's there is plenty of space.

you will need to feed the sponge's
