I would call the Zoas more of a pest than the sponge. That thing is sweet.

But if you really want to kill it, just pull the rock out of the water for a few minutes and set it back in. Air exposure will typically kill sponges.

If that doesn't work, get a syringe and a needle and. start injecting it with air. That will take care of it for sure.

Injecting it with air should do the trick.
