Can someone please tell me what this is? Coral? It washed up on the shore of our hotel in Aruba.

I need help identifying this and I'm not sure if I'm in the right area. If not please feel free to point me in the right direction. I've owned this for the last 10 years. It washed up on the beach of our hotel in Aruba and I took it home with me. Is this just seaweed or some sort of coral? Measures 21" at its longest. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank  you.

Hi!

You have a species of breaching coral, I don't know which one but that is indeed coral.

You could Google the branching corals of Aruba and see what comes up.

Nice find!
