If it is coming immediately from an established tank it should be fine. Make sure you keep it submersed during transport. I haven't had any issues with that. Any other way you would definately want to cure it seperatly.

It should work great

Submerged during transport is best but as long as it is a short time span, you can wrap it in wet newspaper or something similar.

As you remove it from the old system you should swish it well to remove any detritus that may be trapped in the crevices.

I would also remove any noticeable sponge, as many sponge species will die off if exposed to just the slightest bit of air; a small portion may survive, however the bulk or mass will die back and foul your system.
It's better to be safe then sorry.
