Wtf is a carnivorous sponge? Actually, maybe don't answer that. I don't need more nightmare fuel in my life.

Sounds like they mostly exist miles deep in the ocean, where tiny scavengers are a more stable food supply. So like carnivorous plants, they evolved carnivory because they lacked alternative sources of nutrients.

Cool, I will do my best to avoid them.

Don't think you really need to do your best forr that. Just don't go deep sea diving.

According to series animator Vincent Waller, "there is absolutely no meat in the Krabby Patty. There's no animal product in there", something which was always planned by series creator Stephen Hillenburg.[9]

...

he stated that there is no meat served in Bikini Bottom except at the Chum Bucket.

Definitely not, according to the Bikini Bottom Horror.
