			 I've been told that i have sponges in my tank but unfortunately I don't know what they actually are or what kind it is. They are lime green and look like it's got a mouth. I just wanted to know if they are good or if it's something i have to worry about. They are multiplying and i haven't done anything different to my tank but they seem to be going out of control

			 A picture would be worth a 1000 words in this case.

			 I have a few lime-green sponges in my nano.  They are harmless, and easily removed if you don't like them.  They're lovely to look at.
