I don't know the name, but I do kow you can never expose it to air or it will die. Also be careful, many of the brightly colored sponges can realese toxins when they die and may crash your tank.
 
Orange tree sponge--- sorry that generally what I have seen them sold as---Did you find it on the beach?
