There is no such nomenclature. Mollusks and sponges are two forms of invertebrates.

Some sponges, such as Myxilla incrustans form symbiotic relationships with some mollusks (i.e scallops).

No. Sponges are in the Phylum: Porifera and are separated into three groups; Calcarea, Hexactinellida, and Demospongiae. Animals under the Phylum: Mollusca would be snails, squid, octopus, cuttlefish, clams, and the like.
