They look like the skeletal remains of some favia corals. Something along these lines.

Good call. I'll throw in siderastrea radians too, possibly.

Just be careful what you pick. I'll operate under the assumption you know what you can and cannot take from there, but if you don't, I suggest doing a little research. No, I have no idea whether you were allowed to take that or not. Just throwing that out there.
