There's a whole phylum of them out there, but most of 'em look like plants, instead of fish.
Phylum Porifera-check'em out.
Lots of diversity.

Porifera (mentioned in the first answer) is the Phylum of actual sponges, not any kind of fish. So any photos of Porifera SHOULD resemble a sponge!
It's hard to tell what type of fish you might have seen, but some of the stonefish resemble sponges.

The taxonomy for these is as follows:
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Actinopterygii
Order: Scorpaeniformes
Family: Synanceiidae
