Idaho Coral? Id

I found this fossil at 11,000' on a remote portion of Idahos tallest peak. Mt. Borah. I believe it's coral. I know nothing about rocks and any info would be great.

I think I can make out the faint remains of septa in the upper left that would indicate a rugose coral, yes. By the way I've heard it said that the summit of Everest is also marine limestone. The earth is a fine escalator !
