Identify this red coral?

[ROUS]

I'm trying to identify this coral/sponge so I can label it in a video I'm working on. It was on the west side of Grand Cayman in about 50 feet of water. There was only one of them and it was maybe 18 - 24 inches in diameter. Looked like a big poppy and it was a pretty thing. Florent's Guide didn't show anything too similar. I don't know if it's a coral or a sponge. The second photo shows the fan next to it for scale. Who knows what this is? Some kind of disk coral?

Looks like coral growing inside a sponge, maybe finger coral, maybe vase sponge, brown bowl sponge. Try these two links. You could also join inaturalist where the links are and upload the images, you might get hits.

Looks like a Porites porites colony in a barrel sponge.

If you are referring just to the "red" it is a sponge, Brown Bowl Sponge, Cribrochalina vasculum.
