My first guess would be coral, followed by hydrocoral, plate bryozoan, and plate sponge. Will knows much more about these types of animals..... Will?

Yep - looks like a sponge. Maybe of the genus Dysidea? Also, the spikey thing around it is also a sponge of the genus Callyspongia.

Maybe if you'd post the location and depth of the organism we could help you. Please be more specific in the future.

Well - in the case of sponges, depth is not going to be informative. A photo is about the best you can do without a sample. And this is definitely a sponge - I looked closely at the cropped photo that shows close detail and there are clearly oscules.
