I know its coral, but not exactly what type. Is this called a coral colony? It is the biggest one I've found.

The Citronelle Formation in Southeast Louisiana is composed of Paleozoic chert gravel washed down from Tennessee in the Cenozoic. I do a lot of collecting over there in Louisiana with my family and collect Paleozoic marine goodies all the time. Have even found trilobites before. There are also some mixed in Tertiary petrified wood samples if you're lucky.

Your coral colony is likely a rugose type colonial coral from the Mississippian formations of central Tennessee.

Cool find!

Here is a document on it. Enjoy! https://www.deq.state.ms.us/mdeq.nsf/pdf/Geology_Circular-RocksAndFossilsFoundInMississippisGravelDeposits/$File/Circular%207.pdf?OpenElement
