No.
No, shale is a type of sedimentary rock formed from the accumulation of silt and clay particles. It is not formed from the skeletons of ancient coral animals, which are typically preserved in rocks such as limestone.
Shale rock is indirectly formed of skeletons and ancient coral animals. Clay minerals and tiny fragments of minerals like quartz and calcite make up shale. Calcite comes from the reaction of CaCO3, or calcium carbonate with Hydrogen ions. CaCO3 is a component of shells and bones.
The correct term is "coral reef." Coral reefs are formed by the accumulation of calcium carbonate skeletons secreted by coral polyps over time.
This is how coral reefs are formed. Coral will take salt from the sea and utilize it to create limestone skeletons on underwater objects.

coral reefs were formed by the calcium of skeletons
Limestone is a rock that is formed from the skeletal remains of sea animals and plants. It is primarily composed of calcium carbonate, which is derived from the shells and skeletons of marine organisms such as coral, mollusks, and foraminifera. Over time, these remains accumulate and become compacted and cemented to form limestone rock.
When coral animals die their skeletons do indeed fall to the sea floor. This is the only place where they can go.
they can b coral, or even skeletons from dead fish...that is how many coral reefs form also
