Read up on something called a piddock. Do these holes look like what you have?

I've never heard of a tropical piddock as I have only seen them in temperate areas, but hey, stranger things have happened. I think this is your culprit.

Depending where your rock if from I'm going to guess that it's a Pholas orientalis or Petricolaria pholadiformis, but then again it could be any bivalve with an "angel wing" shell
