Are They Coral, Sponges, Bryozoans Or What? 1

For whatever reason I struggle with identifying/differentiating coral, sponges, and bryozoans. They are too similar? Please tell me what's what in the following photos. I'll give my guess just to see if I'm as off-base as I think I am. Thanks.

#1 Could it be pumice? It's lighter than expected. I found in a creek in southern Ohio, so if pumice it didn't get there naturally. Found near a railroad track.

Maybe slag from steel manufacturing.
