Coral fossil with worm?

Recommended Posts

First I apologize I’m just a rock collector, or was in the 60’s and 70’s. 

I dug out the box of rocks to photograph the art in the rocks. I would love to know if this is coral and if that circled image is a worm and really any information I can include for my grandchildren. 
thanks so much

I am no expert but I believe that is a worm burrow.

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

Maybe a sponge rather than a coral with a serpulid worm tube attached.

In my opinion, there is a carbonate bioeroded rock with Entobia (sponge borings), tube worm and pholad borings. The pink-red patches could be red coralline algae.
