An insulator or neither. The water inside of the sponge is what would conduct electricity.

The dead sponges (and the synthetic sponges) we use for cleaning are insulators.

Live sponges are conductors because their tissues are saturated with salt water.

It is possible to produce many metals in "sponge" form, as these "sponges" are metallic they are conductors. Gold for example is produced in "sponge" form when extracted with Mercury and the mercury is roasted out. This "gold sponge" is then melted and poured in molds to make bulion.
