Doe anyone know how I can mount a sponge or am suppose too. Should I just glue it to a rock?

I don't see why you could not glue it. Sponges are very difficult to keep, so read up on them as much as you can. I have never seen anyone have any luck with keeping them in a tank. They just slowly deteriorate to nothing.

Sponges should not be exposed to the air. Not sure how you can glue it.

I have had it in my tank for about 2 months now. Seems to be doing fine. I was thinking about glueing it to a rock just by pulling a small rock out putting glue on it and then putting the sponge on it under the water.

Try just pinning the sponge between two rocks, as the sponge grows it will attatch itself to the rock. Or you could maybe rubberband it. We just shoved ours into a crevice and it took hold from there.
