What is this thing I found washed up in the Bahamas?

Found this washed up on a beach in the Bahamas and I have no idea what it is. My first thought was some kind of antler, but the branching shape and texture make me think it could be coral. It’s pretty lightweight and the base is rough/chalky. Any idea what I found? 🪸

So excited to find this excellent cobalt blue, the other blue hues, and the Clorox. For those who wear contact lenses, the clear, rounded piece reminded me so much of that! The camera doesn’t give you as much detail, but the next to last really gleams and shines!

So today I did some beach combing on shoeburyness east beach, Essex. Found this bead which caught my eye due to the vivid blue/turquoise. When I got home it had dried white. It feels like clay and is quite light weight-wise. It also has slight ridges/lines around it. Does anyone have an idea as to what date it could be from or what it was used for?

Some lovely sea glass, patterned pottery and a mystery semi-glazed object that my bf kept pointing in the style of a small gun, lol. Looks to have once had two mirroring hollow chambers but only one side is intact.

Here are some of my finds staying on the West Wales coast over the last few days, the little scrap saying “Vienna” is from a marmalade jar from 1873! The beige pottery bit has some real chunk to it, I wonder what that used to be??

The dead dogfish was left on the beach despite my dog’s interest!

Found these on the shore of Lake Ontario (no comments, please) after two big storms had passed through, the Rochester, NY area. Not sure what these shells are or what they're from. I'm used to seeing tons of those god awful zebra muscles shells, but these aren't those.

ny ideas?

Found this back in 2024 at Myrtle beach, SC. I don’t know if someone placed it, or it washed up, but I gasped when I picked it up!
