That's the bubble coral Plerogyra sinuosa. It looks quite different when the polyps are retracted. If you had examined it closely you would have found some beautiful shrimp, crabs, & worms that live with it.
it actually is a stony coral in the broad group known as large polyp stony corals (LPS). It does have an abundance of soft tissue but it grows from a CaCO3 skeleton
