Freshwater sponge in gravel?

Above is a clump of gravel that I removed from my tank last week after noticing a white spot on the susbtrate. It didn't have any noticeable smell, even after I broke it apart to see if there was anything inside. I broke it apart completely but made sure to put all the gravel back in one spot to see if it would recombine like a sponge allegedly would. It appears to have done so.

Does anyone know what this might be if not a sponge?

If it is a sponge, that means you have some of the best water parameters ever! Have your tried to grow a small chunk of it? Like one pebble? I know theres some freshwater sponges in the US, is it possible that you brought in some hardscape, or something from outside?
