Given to me as part of a potted plant ensemble 20 years ago. The plants have been dead for 19 years...

Not sure.
I think it could be a coral. But that's not my area.

I can ask on a specialist fossil forum
RP - can I download the photos and ask there?

According to the experts this is either a coral or a sponge.
Can't really id it further without knowing exactly where it was collected

Dzombs!

I think it came from the mountains around Nelspruit somewhere?

I think I am going to leave it at that.
Although at the time, collecting may have been ok, now it’s not
Don’t want that crowd getting all p c with me.
