As for sponges, I've hardly ever seen a tank with enough sponge that could die and cause any kind of spike.

I've left acros outside for 2 hours and put them back in the tank, did fine too.

These things are way tougher than you give them credit for.

The only corals I wouldn't leave out for too long is deep water acros

I haven't noticed them affected any differently than any other, really. Typically exposed for about 15 minutes during one of my catching sessions.
Last summer I bought a huge stag and it had to sit dry in a rubbermaid for nearly two hours before going into the tank, hardly slimed up at all.

Longest was an acro that sat on my deck for 4 hours. I changed my mind and decided to keep it, put it back and although not happy the rest of the afternoon, it was fine the next day.
