Some kind of fossil coral? Or tube worm colony?

I've resisted posting this one because it's so common on Myrtle Beach, I figured I'd be able to research it myself. But hours later, I still am not sure what to call this. Thank you!

Tube worm colony.

I agree. Would this be a fossil, Tony?

:shrug:I have seen fossil and modern ones that look like this.

Is there a way I can tell between fossil and modern?

I would go with worm borings and a few tube worms preserved.  link
