Your pictures are fine. It's a nice specimen. It might help to know the formation if possible but whatever that is I haven't seen it around here.

I was stumped with this one for a while as well, because of where it was found. Seems very much like some corals found in the Caribbean.

I'm going to stick my neck out and go with a very worn 'Manicina areolata'

Cole, you are exactly right. This must have been brought in by a human. Maybe from someones vacation to the carribean. Ha! I feel like a fool. Live and learn!!
