Did you do that in the save raws or the game raws? If you edit the game raws, then nothing will happen because those are copied over to the save folder only on world gen.
Other ways of killing sponges:
DFHack: Use the exterminte race script and target sponges.
DFHack: place a magma source over the area where the spong is advance a few ticks until it's cast in obsidian, and then remove the source.
DFHack: Increase the sponge's age to something tremendously high. It'll die right away.
Vanilla: Set up a few pumps pumping out of the river right next to the spong you want to kill. 2 or 3 pumps pumping water into an aquaduct that flows into a much lower portion fo the river should be enough to air-drown a nearby sponge.
Vanilla: Build a stack of several floor over sponge, add some heavy items, and then collapse it. There is a reasonable chance it'll be pulped by the falling junk.
Vanilla: Divert whatever water source they're in. They air drown pretty quickly.
I've been editing the save raws, I think the problem may be they don't have lungs(or gills?). I can't seem to get the exterminate command to work, how exactly is it used?
