No. A sponge is asymmetrical, because it lacks any organised body plan.

Animals with radial body symmetry display a regular arrangement of body parts around a central axis, usually in a circular pattern. jellyfish, for example, have radial body symmetry.

no, they are acoelomates, although they have a body cavity (spongocoel), it is not made up of 'true tissue' or mesoderm, therefore they are not regarded as having a 'true coelom'.
