Hi everyone! I am a relatively new to the fossil hunting community and I would appreciate a hand in ID'ing some coral that I have come in possession of. It was found in Southwest Florida, US. Under UV light it has a purple glow, while in the daylight it is a cream/light pink hue. There are several holes on a few sizes, which I've included photos of the inside to help. Thank you all so much in advance!

Pleistocene Solenastrea hyades (Dana, 1846). Not an uncommon find, but in this quality, very, very precious and rare! Superb piece.

Come to the spring that is The Fossil Forum, where the stream of warmth and knowledge never runs dry.
