Agatized Coral?

This is an interesting shape find. It is about 1 1/2" at it's widest point. It has a round crater in the middle with coral polyps marks and circular bands around it. I see microcrystalline when exposed to the sunlight. I think I found this on one of the small islands in Dunedin Florida, boating. I've seen many forms of corals but I never seen one like this. What do the experts think? Thanks!

Can we see the other end, please?

This is very interesting as it looks like a solitary coral with growth phases increasing in size from its base but contains impressions of corallites from a colonial coral as well. 

Intriguing.
