Hey, new here! My 5 year old found this in the yard.  We're in NC about 1 Mile from the Cape Fear River (literally back yard).  We're also about an hour or so from beaches.  I found some pictures it looks like Disphyllia Wangi which I'm thinking is coral from France.  It also looks like it's possible honeycomb? I'm no archeologist, but my 5 year old has always been super interested in nature particularly anthropology and archeology.  I'd love any help our resources to identify this and fuel his journey.

This looks like more of a modern coral skeleton, to me, ... maybe from someone's fish tank?

Also, as an aside, Paleontology is the study of fossils. ;)

Guess it washed up somewhere! Thanks for the insight, I obviously no very little on the matter.  I need to learn more to help this kid of mine.
