Not sure on the skeleton part (I haven’t done much research on corals yet), but the red things are benthic foraminifera:

If they are completely solid, they are probably benthic foraminifera. These are filter-feeding protozoans and are harmless.

As mentioned in the quote I pulled above, these are harmless, so they would not be bothering the coral.
