Welcome to R2R!

That is one seriously weakened coral. In answer to your specific question, leave the skeleton alone. If the coral regains health it will grow over it and smoother it. There is something seriously wrong in your tank for that coral's health, water parameters, light or water flow but hard to tell what without more information.

Thanks guysss for welcoming me. This is his status now is he look able to thrive?
Welcome! As mentioned above, it looks very bleached. You may want to move it to the shade and try target feed reef roid or amino.
If it takes food, there’s good chance that it will grow back.
