Can you identify the animal that lived in or created this shell?

Friendly Nerd asked:


This picture was taken at Waikiki beach, Oahu, Hawaii. The shell looks very cool, but I have no idea what kind of animal made it: http://www.freephotosandart.com/gen-store/2007/1224/FPA-20071224193259241.html

    All shells are made by mollusks.

    The image says that it is a piece of coral, however, looking up pictures of coral skeletons did not result in finding any that looked like that.

    That’s not a shell, it’s a coral fragment that broke off a larger piece The living organism that gives it color is no longer there, so it is bleached white. The dark spots are the spots where the polyps were.
